Lloyd Steadman Nelson was an American statistician who made significant contributions to the field of quality control. Active during the twentieth century, his work focused on the application of statistical methods to monitor and improve industrial and manufacturing processes.
Nelson is best known for developing the "Nelson rules," a widely used statistical process control methodology. These rules provide a systematic framework to determine when a process has deviated from a state of statistical control, allowing practitioners to identify and address non-random patterns in data.
