Today's practising engineer faces the triple challenge of tighter targets, more variables, and less time. Traditional approaches are losing the battle, but an unexpected ally is at hand. Statistical techniques are becoming accessibleand they offer the possibility of facing the challenge with increased confidence. "Statistics for Engine Optimization" offers the knowledge and experience of the engineers and the statisticians who are collaborating to use these techniques and expand the tool kit.CONTENTS INCLUDE: The role of statistics in the engine development processIssues arising from statistical engine testingPractical implementation of design of experiments in engine developmentStatistical modelling of engine systemsApplying design of experiments to the optimization of heavy-duty diesel engine operating parametersEngine mapping: a two-stage regression approach based on spark sweepsThe application of an automatic calibration optimization tool to direct injection dieselsAn investigation of the utilization of genetic programming techniques for response curve modelling
