Modern Industrial Statistics
The new edition of the prime reference on the tools of statistics used in industry and services, integrating theoretical, practical, and computer-based approachesModern Industrial Statistics is a leading reference and guide to the statistics tools widely used in industry and services. Designed to help professionals and students easily access relevant theoretical and practical information in a single volume, this standard resource employs a computer-intensive approach to industrial statistics and provides numerous examples and procedures in the popular R language and for MINITAB and JMP statistical analysis software. Divided into two parts, the text covers the principles of statistical thinking and analysis, bootstrapping, predictive analytics, Bayesian inference, time series analysis, acceptance sampling, statistical process control, design and analysis of experiments, simulation and computer experiments, and reliability and survival analysis. Part A, on computer age statistical analysis, can be used in general courses on analytics and statistics. Part B is focused on industrial statistics applications.The fully revised third edition covers the latest techniques in R, MINITAB and JMP, and features brand-new coverage of time series analysis, predictive analytics and Bayesian inference. New and expanded simulation activities, examples, and case studies?drawn from the electronics, metal work, pharmaceutical, and financial industries?are complemented by additional computer and modeling methods.
