Our Comparative Statistics and Experimental Design course equips mineral engineers and metallurgists with the statistical tools necessary to make informed decisions in the face of uncertainty.
| Duration: | 3-days in-person | 4-weeks online |
| Course Delivery: | Public course (custom in-house courses are also available on request) |
Our online course is also available in Spanish and Portuguese. Lectures and tutorials will be delivered in spoken English with Spanish/Portuguese closed captions and Spanish/Portuguese downloadable resources.
Course Testimonials
“Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences over the stats course. It was undoubtedly one of the most engaging and relevant courses that I have been able to attend.” - Graduate Metallurgist, Newmont
"The course is an excellent resource for mineral processing engineers. The content allows you to design experiments in the correct way, save you time and know that you are right. The content is well explained and real-world examples are used for context." - Open Course Participant, May 2021
Conducting and Analysing Plant Trials specifically covers the conduct and analysis of mineral processing plant trials, including paired testing, randomised block designs, analysing trial data by modelling with regression analysis, and cusum charts. The practical aspects of running a trial are also discussed. The first day covers the statistical methodologies, and the second day involves participants working on real case studies in small groups.
