This book is to be recommended as a standard shelf reference . . . and as a ‘must’ to be read by all who wish to better use and understand data involving dichotomous or dichotomizable measurements. —American Journal of Psychiatry In the two decades since the second edition of Statistical Methods for Rates and Proportions was published, evolving technologies and new methodologies have significantly…
Accessible to medicine- and/or public policy-related audiences, as well as most statisticians. Emphasis on outliers is discussed by way of detection and treatment. Resampling statistics software is incorporated throughout. Motivating applications are presented in light of honest theory. Plentiful exercises are sprinkled throughout.
Introducing a groundbreaking companion book to a bestselling reliability text Reliability is one of the most important characteristics defining the quality of a product or system, both for the manufacturer and the purchaser. One achieves high reliability through careful monitoring of design, materials and other input, production, quality assurance efforts, ongoing maintenance, and a variety of rel…
