Christine Michaela Anderson-Cook (born 1966)[1] is a U.S. and Canadian statistician known for her work on the design of experiments, response surface methodology, reliability analysis in quality engineering, multiple objective optimization and decision-making, and the applications of statistics in nuclear forensics.[2] She has published over 250 research articles in statistical, engineering and interdisciplinary journals. She has also written on misunderstandings caused by "hidden jargon": technical terms in statistics that are difficult to distinguish from colloquial English.[3]
