This book, written by engineers for engineers,
tackles the subject in a clear, up-to-date manner using a
process-orientated approach. It introduces the subjects of
mathematical statistics and probability theory, and then addresses
model estimation and testing, regression and multivariate methods,
analysis of extreme events, simulation techniques, risk and
reliability, and economic decision making.
325 examples and case studies from European and American
practice are included and each chapter features realistic problems
to be solved.
For the second edition new sections have been added on Monte Carlo Markov chain modeling with details of practical Gibbs sampling, sensitivity analysis and aleatory and epistemic uncertainties, and copulas. Throughout, the text has been revised and modernized.
