Parameter Estimation in Reliability and Life Span Models: Statistics: A Series of Textbooks and Monographs

Autor A Clifford Cohen, Betty Jones Whitten
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 sep 2019
Offers an applications-oriented treatment of parameter estimation from both complete and censored samples; contains notations, simplified formats for estimates, graphical techniques, and numerous tables and charts allowing users to calculate estimates and analyze sample data quickly and easily. Furnishing numerous practical examples, this resource serves as a handy reference for statisticians, biometricians, medical researchers, operations research and quality control practitioners, reliability and design engineers, and all others involved in the analysis of sample data from skewed distributions, as well as a text for senior undergraduate and graduate students in statistics, quality control, operations research, mathematics and biometry courses.
