Apart from the usual role(s) in production of components, tracking process variations and predicting process yields, statistics have many applications in electronics engineering. Among them are tolerance analysis, failure rate prediction (and estimating warranty costs), noise characterization and filtering, digital signal decoding, digital signal encoding, data compression, design of computer algorithms, design of computer instruction sets and cache sizes, project scheduling.
Statistics provides a way to talk about and think about things we know very little about. It provides methods that assist in making design choices where data is absent or sparse.
