Suitable for a one or two semester course, the book takes a practical approach to methods of statistical modeling and data analysis that are most often used in scientific work. The presentation is oriented toward engineering and the natural sciences, but since the basic methods and ideas of statistics are applicable to all subjects, this book will benefit students in business and the social sciences as well.
