Books by Thomas P. (Acworth Ryan

The objective of this book is to motivate an appreciation of contemporary statistical techniques within the context of engineering. The author presents an optimum blend between statistical thinking and statistical methodology through emphasis of a broad sweep of "tools" rather than endless streams of seemingly unrelated methods and formulae.

This volume covers the first full year of experimental design topics at the beginning graduate level. It attempts to present a well-balanced, down-to-earth, but complete coverage of the subject matter, with equal emphasis on both design and analysis. The mathematical rigor is strictly kept to a minimum.
