on the application of estimation and control methods to the analysis
of flight test data. He also has been funded by the Office of Naval

to evaluate a vehicle's handling qualities. He has done considerable
work, research, and lecturing in computer performance evaluation and
capacity planning for large commercial data centers. Throughout his
years as an applied statistician, he has been involved with survey
design, analysis and reporting. Dr. Gantz is Professor of Applied and
