{"product_id":"9780387984988","title":"Data Analysis: Statistical and Computational Methods for Scientists and Engineers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fourth edition of this successful textbook presents a comprehensive introduction to statistical and numerical methods for the evaluation of empirical and experimental data. Equal weight is given to statistical theory and practical problems. The concise mathematical treatment of the subject matter is illustrated by many examples and for the present edition a library of Java programs has been developed. It comprises methods of numerical data analysis and graphical representation as well as many example programs and solutions to programming problems. The programs (source code, Java classes and documentation) and extensive appendices to the main text are available for free download from the book’s page at www.springer.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProbabilities.
