About the Book
Before anything else, the author would appreciate your giving attention to the Anti-Terrorism response pyramid below since the all around composition, in many ways summarize the goal of this book. When you consider the vastness of terrorism and the many directions which are and can be taken, it becomes even folly to envision that any kind of checkmate can be achieved simply on the basis of after the fact reaction. "We must seek pre-active measures". As it turns out, the author has pioneered scientific statistical prediction planning throughout his entire career. Succinctly, what this entailed is the tailgating of the subject of concern with statistical methodology that can underscore "Prediction" within selective quantitative degrees of confidence limits. The number of issues now taking place in our Country nowadays is mind-boggling. One may wonder as how to deal with this dilemma which includes such vital problems as homeland security, military, immigration, criminal justice and education. For sure, the answer to these barnburners can be amenable to scientific statistica inference planning. Unfortunately however, we may end up creating problems in lieu of solving problems due to the taking of only reactive measures.
About the Author
Arthur H. walner was a member of the professional staffs of the Navy, Army, EPA, General Services and Cost of Living. During the period of his employment of more than 25 years he was assigned the responsibility of developing and providing instruction, guidance and review of the utilization and interpretation of statistical processes in the execution of the scientific work being performed. He was the Chief Statistician and headed one of the staff groups. To illustrate, one of the Laboratories was staffed at between 1100 and 1200, with about 450 professional personnel, and had an annual budget of between $25,000,000 and $30,000,000. The major fields of research were inertial navigation systems, electronics, materials development and various specialities in physical optics and optical data processing. The diversity of work, its priority and the highly sophisticated technical personnel engaged on the problems made unusually severe demands on Walner's technical ability, his creativity in developing experimental designs in many different disciplines and his ability to win the acceptance and respect of the scientific staff. He was successful in his efforts and the ingenuity of several of his experimental designs won recognition not only in the Laboratory, but in sponsoring organizations in Washington. He is a highly qualified, dedicated and creative mathematical statistician with a very extensive background in experimental design, in the development of effective statistical organizations and in fostering the acceptance and the effective utilization of statistical services by the potential users.
