Statistics in Human Engineering.

Abstract

The paper discusses some aspects of current statistical usage in human engineering experiments. Elementary concepts (averages, distributions and correlation) are considered, as well as the more fundamental topics of experimental approach, and the statistical or practical significance of results. A plea is made for more consideration of individual results and less reliance on averages, and for more detailed reporting than has become customary.
