Practical Statistics for Engineers and Scientists

The monograph is intended as a handy reference of standard statistical analyses and data regression techniques. It is written in a short format to enable the user to obtain a working knowledge of important statistical tests. Each method is fully illustrated with practical problems drawn from engineering and science-oriented applications. The volume does not provide rigorous treatment of statistical theorems and theory, but lists useful references for those readers who desire more in-depth understanding of the mathematical bases. The book also provides direction in constructing regression routines that can be used with worksheet software on personal computers.

Process engineers, chemists and researchers will find this to be a handy guide in designing experiments and analyzing data.
