Synopsis
This book is a guide to the practical application of statistics to data analysis in the physical sciences. It is primarily addressed at students and professionals who need to draw quantitative conclusions from experimental data. Although most of the examples are taken from particle physics, the material is presented in a sufficiently general way as to be useful to people from most branches of the physical sciences. The first part of the book describes the basic tools of data analysis: concepts of probability and random variables, Monte Carlo techniques, statistical tests, and methods of parameter estimation. The last three chapters then develop more advanced statistical ideas, focusing on interval estimation, characteristic functions, and correcting distributions for the effects of measurement errors (unfolding)., This book is a guide to the practical application of statistics in data analysis as typically encountered in the physical sciences.

    Good seller. Accurate description, Item was wrapped securely. Seller was prompt in providing tracking info and in replying to questions. UNFORTUNATELY WE BOTH WERE LET DOWN BY THE US POSTAL SERVICE!! Shipping time and tracking info were both inaccurate and extended.

    Really happy with my order. I've been looking everywhere for this and glad I came across this listing. It came just as advertised and had all the tags attached. The plush box was in a packaging box so it wasn't damaged. Definitely fair pricing compared to other sellers. This one even came with the photocard. Highly recommend seller, thank you!

    These HexArmor gloves provide very good protection. The seller communicated with me in a timely manner and made me a good discount offer. The 3 pairs of gloves are in new condition and were shipped in a padded envelope. I highly recommend this 5 STAR SELLER for great service and competitively priced.
