Description of  Descriptive Statistics for Scientists and Engineers: Applications in R (Synthesis Lectures on Mathematics & Statistics)

3031323297 pdf This book introduces descriptive statistics and covers a broad range of topics of interest to students and researchers in various applied science disciplines. This includes measures of location, spread, skewness, and kurtosis absolute and relative measures and classification of spread, skewness, and kurtosis measures, L-moment based measures, van Zwet ordering of kurtosis, and multivariate kurtosis. Several novel topics are discussed including the recursive algorithm for sample variance simplification of complicated summation expressions updating formulas for sample geometric, harmonic and weighted means divide-and-conquer algorithms for sample variance and covariance L-skewness spectral kurtosis, etc. A large number of exercises are included in each chapter that are drawn from various engineering fields along with examples that are illustrated using the R programming language. Basic concepts are introduced before moving on to computational aspects. Some applicationsin bioinformatics, finance, metallurgy, pharmacokinetics (PK), solid mechanics, and signal processing are briefly discussed. Every analyst who works with numeric data will find the discussion very illuminating and easy to follow. Read more
