Beschreibung
A new edition of the trusted guide on commonly used statisticaldistributions
Fully updated to reflect the latest developments on the topic,Statistical Distributions, Fourth Edition continues to serveas an authoritative guide on the application of statistical methodsto research across various disciplines. The book provides a concisepresentation of popular statistical distributions along with thenecessary knowledge for their successful use in data modeling andanalysis.
Following a basic introduction, forty popular distributions areoutlined in individual chapters that are complete with relatedfacts and formulas. Reflecting the latest changes and trends instatistical distribution theory, the Fourth Editionfeatures:
* A new chapter on queuing formulas that discusses standardformulas that often arise from simple queuing systems
* Methods for extending independent modeling schemes to thedependent case, covering techniques for generating complexdistributions from simple distributions
* New coverage of conditional probability, including conditionalexpectations and joint and marginal distributions
* Commonly used tables associated with the normal (Gaussian),student-t, F and chi-square distributions
* Additional reviewing methods for the estimation of unknownparameters, such as the method of percentiles, the method ofmoments, maximum likelihood inference, and Bayesian inference
Statistical Distributions, Fourth Edition is an excellentsupplement for upper-undergraduate and graduate level courses onthe topic. It is also a valuable reference for researchers andpractitioners in the fields of engineering, economics, operationsresearch, and the social sciences who conduct statisticalanalyses.
