Nathaniel Stevens

Nathaniel Stevens is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science.

He is interested in using data to make decisions, solve problems, and improve processes. Specifically, his research interests lie at the intersection of data science and industrial statistics. He is interested in methodological developments in experimental design and A/B testing, process monitoring and network surveillance, reliability and survival analysis, and the assessment and comparison of measurement systems. Recently Nathaniel has developed a family of comparative probability metrics that may be used in place of traditional hypothesis tests in any setting that requires a comparison of statistical quantities. Applications include the comparison of experimental conditions, the comparison of measurement systems, the comparison of survival experiences and more generally, the comparison of expected and predicted response surfaces.
