Synopsis
Statistics lectures have often been viewed with trepidation by engineering and science students taking an ancillary course in this subject. Whereas there are many texts showing "how" statistical methods are applied, few provide a clear explanation for non-statisticians of how the principles of data analysis can be based on probability theory. Data Analysis: A Bayesian Tutorial provides such a text, putting emphasis as much on understanding "why" and "when" certain statistical procedures should be used as "how". This difference in approach makes the text ideal as a tutorial guide for senior undergraduates and research students, in science and engineering. After explaining the basic principles of Bayesian probability theory, their use is illustrated with a variety of examples ranging from elementary parameter estimation to image processing. With its central emphasis on a few fundamental rules, this book takes the mystery out of statistics by providing a clear rationale for some of the most widely-used procedures., This is the first book on the maximum entropy and Bayesian methods aimed at senior undergraduates in science and engineering. It takes the mystery out of statistics by showing how a few fundamental rules can be used to tackle a wide variety of problems in data analysis. After explaining the basic principles of Bayesian probability theory, their use is illustrated with a variety of examples ranging from elementary parameter estimation to image processing. Other topics covered include reliability analysis, multivariate optimization, least squares and maximum likelihood, error-propagation, hypothesis testing, maximum entropy, and experimental design. As a logical and unified approach to the subject of data analysis, with a self-contained tutorial approach, this work will be valued by instructors and students alike.
