Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 551-552) and index.
