One of the most popular introductory texts in its field, Statistics for Technology: A Course in Applied Studies presents the range of statistical methods commonly used in science, social science, and engineering.The mathematics are simple and straightforward; statistical concepts are explained carefully; and real-life (rather than contrived) examples are used throughout the chapters.Divided into three parts, the Introduction describes some simple methods of summarizing data. Theory examines the basic concepts and theory of statistics. Applications covers the planning and procedures of experiments, quality control, and life testing.Revised throughout, this Third Edition places a higher priority on the role of computers in analysis, and many new references have been incorporated. A new appendix describes general methods of tackling statistical problems, including guidance on literature searching and report writing.

Time-series analysis is a significant area of statistics relevant across various fields, including marketing and oceanography. The analysis of time series presents numerous theoretical and practical challenges. My interest in this subject began as a postgraduate student at Imperial College during a compelling course led by Dr. G. M. Jenkins, and it has captivated me ever since. While many texts focus on the theoretical aspects, this book aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, making a complex subject more accessible. It provides sufficient theoretical background to introduce key concepts while addressing practical problems to assist readers in analyzing real data. A foundational knowledge of basic probability theory and elementary statistical inference is assumed. This book serves as a resource for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in time-series analysis, as well as for self-study by researchers. Throughout, references to contemporary, accessible books and journals are provided instead of original sources, with Wold's (1965) bibliography cited for time series references prior to 1959.
