Gebunden. Zustand: New. Good books on applied and practical statistical methods for experimental physicists are very rare but badly needed. In that sense the book helps to fill a gapClassical Methods of Statistics is a guidebook combining theory and practical methods.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Classical Methods of Statistics is a guidebook combining theory and practical methods. It is especially conceived forgraduate students and scientists who are interested in the applications of statistical methods to plasma physics. Thus it provides also concise information on experimental aspects of fusion-oriented plasma physics. In view of the first three basic chapters it can be fruitfully used by students majoring in probability theory and statistics.The first part deals with the mathematical foundation and framework of the subject. Some attention is given to the historical background. Exercises are added to help readers understand the underlying concepts. In the second part, two major case studies are presented which exemplify the areas of discriminant analysis and multivariate profile analysis, respectively. To introduce these case studies, an outline is provided of the context of magnetic plasma fusion research. In the third part an overview is given of statistical software; separate attention is devoted to SAS and S-PLUS.The final chapter presents several datasets and gives a description of their physical setting. Most of these datasets were assembled at the ASDEX Upgrade Tokamak. All of them are accompanied by exercises in form of guided (minor) case studies.The book concludes with translations of key concepts into several languages.
