Synopsis

This textbook reflects recent trends towards the use of statistical methods to enhance on-line and off-line quality. There is a balance between theory and application, with a large number of theoretical and applied exercises. This new edition gives greater emphasis to the following topics: the illustration of data analysis with graphic techniques; the application of the bionomial, Poisson, exponential, and gamma distribution in proportion defective, reliability, and weighting time problems; and the importance of randomization and the meaning of experimental unit in a data-gathering or experimental design context. It discusses the various implications of the term "degrees of freedom", and includes a chapter on statistical quality control and a section on maximum likelihood estimation.
