An Introduction to Design, Data Analysis, and Model Building
Introduces the philosophy of experimentation and the part that statistics play in experimentation. Emphasizes the need to develop a capability for statistical thinking'' by using examples drawn from actual case studies.
An introduction to engineering applications of statistics and the elements of mathematical theory that support these applications. Expanded coverage includes an introduction to reliability theory and practice; the use of contrasts in statistical analyses, notably in the analysis of variance situations; control charts; goodness-of-fit tests; regression analysis; the design of experiments; and Bayesian inference.
A comprehensive guide to simulation methods with explicit recommendations of methods and algorithms. Covers both the technical aspects of the subject, such as the generation of random numbers, non-uniform random variates and stochastic processes, and the use of simulation. Supported by the relevant mathematical theory, the text contains a great deal of unpublished research material, including coverage of the analysis of shift-register generators, sensitivity analysis of normal variate generators, analysis of simulation output, and more. Includes a selection of computer programs.
