About the Book
The book titled FUNDAMENTALS OF STATISTICS IN ENGINEERING is specially designed to give a systematic and self-contained account of statistical theory and techniques in a logically integrated form for the students and researchers in different fields of engineering and technology.
Besides, students of professional courses having statistics as a part of course curriculum will find it as a useful source-book. The book effectively covers data analysis, probability and probability distributions with engineering applications, dependent analysis, exact and large sample parametric and non-parametric statistical tests. Some topics that are found to be useful in the state-of-the-art engineering applications like improving performance quality of a manufacturing process, development of a new process, selection of engineering parameters are specially emphasized.
Written in very lucid language with a clear presentation of concepts and definitions, and supported by a large number of illustrations, solved examples, and “Points to be noted” , the book makes the subject easy for the students to understand and master.
