Christine Anderson-Cook

Christine Michaela Anderson-Cook (born 1966)[1] is an American and Canadian statistician known for her work on the design of experiments, response surface methodology, reliability analysis in quality engineering, multiple objective optimization and decision-making, and the applications of statistics in nuclear forensics.

She has also written on misunderstandings caused by "hidden jargon": technical terms in statistics that are difficult to distinguish from colloquial English.

[3] Anderson-Cook is a project leader in the US National Technical Nuclear Forensics Center, a research scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and a former chair of the American Statistical Association Section of Quality and Productivity and of the American Society for Quality Statistics Division.

[2] Her dissertation, Location and Dispersion Analysis for Factorial Experiments with Directional Data, was supervised by C. F. Jeff Wu.

[6] Anderson-Cook is a co-author of the 3rd and 4th editions of the book Response Surface Methodology: Process and Product Optimization Using Designed Experiments (with Raymond H. Myers and Douglas C. Montgomery, Wiley, 2009 and 2016).
