Introduction to engineering statistics, with topical coverage appropriate for either a one- or two-semester course. An applied approach to solving real-world engineering problems.
probability, statistics, and random processes for electrical and computer engineers.The complexity of the systems encountered in engineering practice calls for an understand-ing of probability concepts and a facility in the use of probability tools.The goal of the introductory course should therefore be to teach both the basic theoretical concepts
Inferential statistics, such as estimation and prediction, are based on a sample of the subjects (only a portion of the population) to determine what is probably happening or what might happen in the future.
There are two parts to the lecture notes for this class: The Brief Note, which is a summary of the topics discussed in class, and the Application Example, which gives real-wolrd examples of the topics covered.
The book sets out fundamental principles of the probability theory, supplemented by theoretical models of random variables, evaluation of experimental data, sampling theory, distribution updating and tests of statistical hypotheses.
