Data Analysis : Springer : 9780387984988 : 0387984984 : 25 Nov 1998 : This text provides a thorough introduction to the statistical methods used in the experimental sciences and to the numerical methods used to implement them. Bridging the gap between statistical theory and practical problems, the treatment emphasizes concise but rigorous mathematics while retaining its focus on applications. The richly illustrated text is intended for graduate students setting out on experimental research, but it should also provide a useful reference and programming guide for scientists and professionals. To guide the student, the text includes many worked-out examples as well as problems (many with hints or solutions). An accompanying CD-ROM (for IBM PS/2 or PC machines) provides an extensive source program library (in Fortran 77 and in C) to be used as a tool kit for the reader's own applications, a graphics library (for DOS, Windows 95, and Linux), and many sample programs (as source code and exec
