Features: This textbook is designed for undergraduate and graduate students in science and engineering, covering the theory, ideas, and methods of statistical reasoning. It includes an introduction to probability theory for science and engineering, as well as the foundational aspects of classical and modern statistics. The book has the following characteristics:
1. Clear purpose: The probability section is specifically designed for statistics, making it shorter than general domestic textbooks and requiring a lower mathematical foundation—only elementary calculus knowledge is needed to understand the entire book.
2. Extensive references in the main text and exercises introduce new techniques in modern statistical processing.
3. It includes numerous examples and a wealth of practice problems.
4. Compared to general domestic textbooks, the statistical section of this book offers deeper theoretical coverage, discusses more models, covers a broader range of cases, and provides more practical applications. The explanation of statistical ideas and algorithms is also more detailed.
