Statistical Analysis of Experimental Data

The author, National bureau of Standards statistics consultant draws a clear and fascinating blueprint for a systematic science of statistical analysis, geared to the particular needs of the physical scientist, with approach and examples aimed specifically at statistical problems. First half of book presents fundamental mathematical definitions, concepts, and facts while remaining half deals with statistics primarily as an interpretive tool. This is a well-written text and numerous worked examples with step-by-step presentation. The book contains 116 tables.
