Inspired by the Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences, Second
Edition (ESS2e), this volume presents a concise, well-rounded
focus on the statistical concepts and applications that are
essential for understanding gathered data in the fields of
engineering, quality control, and the physical sciences. The book
successfully upholds the goals of ESS2e by combining both
previously-published and newly developed contributions written by
over 100 leading academics, researchers, and practitioner in a
comprehensive, approachable format. The result is a succinct
reference that unveils modern, cutting-edge approaches to acquiring
and analyzing data across diverse subject areas within these three
disciplines, including operations research, chemistry, physics, the
earth sciences, electrical engineering, and quality assurance.
In addition, techniques related to survey methodology,
computational statistics, and operations research are discussed,
where applicable. Topics of coverage include: optimal and
stochastic control, artificial intelligence, quantum mechanics, and
fractals.
