This hands-on guide is primarily intended to be used in
undergraduate laboratories in the physical sciences and
engineering. It assumes no prior knowledge of statistics. It
introduces the necessary concepts where needed, with key points
illustrated with worked examples and graphic illustrations. In
contrast to traditional mathematical treatments it uses a
combination of spreadsheet and calculus-based approaches, suitable
as a quick and easy on-the-spot reference. The emphasis throughout
is on practical strategies to be adopted in the laboratory.
Error analysis is introduced at a level accessible to school
leavers, and carried through to research level. Error calculation
and propagation is presented though a series of rules-of-thumb,
look-up tables and approaches amenable to computer analysis. The
general approach uses the chi-square statistic extensively.
Particular attention is given to hypothesis testing and extraction
of parameters and their uncertainties by fitting mathematical
models to experimental data. Routines implemented by most
contemporary data analysis packages are analysed and explained. The
book finishes with a discussion of advanced fitting strategies and
an introduction to Bayesian analysis.
