This presentation will discuss statistical methods for use in the analysis of remotely sensed data. Many of the methods represent enhancements of traditional means for processing remotely sensed data that have been developed by the CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences Remote Sesning and Monitoring Group (CMIS-RSM). The presentation will discuss statistical methods in the context of parti...

The present paper deals with the design of experimental work matrices for two groups of experiments by using Response surface methodology (RSM). The first EDM group was dealt with the use of kerosene dielectric alone, while the second was treated by adding the graphite micro powders mixing to dielectric fluid (PMEDM). The total heat flux generated and fatigue lives after EDM and PMEDM models we...
