Quality Engineering Statistics

Description

This book is a compendium of many of the statistical tools and tests used by quality and engineering professionals. It is a practical handbook that lists significant statistical methods, outlines assumptions for testing, and provides formulas and completed examples. The book is ideal for engineers who know what type of test to perform but need an easy-to-use reference to help complete the task. Readers should have an understanding of basic statistics. A bibliography contains references to texts that can provide the necessary theory and mathematical foundations. Content: Front Matter • Preface • Table of Contents 1. Point Estimates 2.
