PRACTICAL ENGINEERING STATISTICS
This lucidly written book offers engineers and advanced students
all the essential statistical methods and techniques used in
day-to-day engineering work. Without unnecessary digressions into
formal proofs or derivations, Practical Engineering Statistics
shows how to select the appropriate statistical method for a
specific task and then how to apply it correctly and confidently.
Clear explanations supported by real-world examples lead the reader
step-by-step through each procedure. Topics covered include product
design and development; estimations of the mean value and
variability of measured data; comparison of processes or products;
the relationships between variables; and more.
With its emphasis on practical use and its full range of
engineering applications, Practical Engineering Statistics serves
as an indispensable, time-saving reference for all engineers
working in design, reliability, assurance, scheduling, and
manufacturing.
PRACTICAL ENGINEERING STATISTICS
While engineers are frequently involved in projects that require
the application of statistical methods to analysis, prediction, and
planning, their background in statistics is often insufficient to
the task. In many cases the engineer has had little training in
statistics beyond the concepts of the mean, the standard deviation,
the median, and the quartile. Even those who have had one or more
courses in statistics will, at times, encounter problems which are
beyond their capacity to solve or understand.
Practical Engineering Statistics is designed to give engineers the
knowledge to select the statistical approach that is most
appropriate to the problem at hand and the skills to confidently
apply this approach to specific cases. It provides the engineer
with the statistical tools needed to perform the job effectively,
whether it is pro-duct design and development, estimation of the
mean value and variability of measured data, comparison of
processes or products, or the relationship between variables.
Its authors bring two different areas of expertise to this unique
book: statistics and engineering physics. In Practical Engineering
Statistics their collaboration has produced a book that clearly
leads engineers step-by-step through each procedure, without
time-consuming and unnecessary discussions of proofs and
derivations. Statistical procedures are discussed and explained in
detail and demonstrated through real-world sample problems, with
correct answers always provided. Readers learn how to determine
which data represent true observations and which, through human
error or flawed data, are false observations.
Complex problems are presented with computer printouts of the
database, intermediate steps, and results. Numerous illustrations
and tables of all commonly used distributions enhance the
usefulness of this invaluable book.
Virtually all engineers and advanced students, especially those in
mechanical, civil, electrical, aerospace, and chemical engineering,
Practical Engineering Statistics is an indispensable reference that
will give them the tools to do the statistical part of their work
quickly and accurately.
