Product Description In today’s global and highly competitive environment, continuous improvement in the processes and products of any field of engineering is essential for survival. This book gathers together the full range of statistical techniques required by engineers from all fields. It will assist them to gain sensible statistical feedback on how their processes or products are functioning and to give them realistic predictions of how these could be improved. The handbook will be essential reading for all engineers and engineering-connected managers who are serious about keeping their methods and products at the cutting edge of quality and competitiveness. Review From the reviews: "The book provides a concise compilation of approved keys and up to date information on statistical methods for engineering sciences. A detailed list of references for every topic is appreciable." (Daniela Jarušková, Zentrablatt MATH, Vol. 1096 (22), 2006) "The Springer Handbook of Engineering Statistics is a recent entry in the Springer Press’ line of technical reference books. … The text is aimed at practicing engineers and researchers as a compilation of the core fundamentals of engineering statistics, along with current and cutting-edge research and theory. … This text will be a welcome addition to the reference library of experienced users of traditional engineering statistics …. Current research is well summarised, clearly presented, and strikingly illustrated." (Dave Jones, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 12 (2), 2007) "This book enlisted 100 authors in various field of expertise, the reader can expect wide variations in the style of writing and depth of coverage. … a book for those for those interested in learning what one can do with statistics to develop data, models, or methods to discover information for improving processes, making engineering decisions, or just to understand processes.
