Statistics in Practice is an important international series of texts which provide
detailed coverage of statistical concepts, methods and worked case studies in
specific fields of investigation and study.
With sound motivation and many worked practical examples, the books
show in down-to-earth terms how to select and use an appropriate range of
statistical techniques in a particular practical field within each title’s special
topic area.
The books provide statistical support for professionals and research work-
ers across a range of employment fields and research environments. Subject
areas covered include medicine and pharmaceutics; industry, finance and
commerce; public services; the earth and environmental sciences, and so on.
The books also provide support to students studying statistical courses
applied to the above areas. The demand for graduates to be equipped for the
work environment has led to such courses ing increasingly prevalent
at universities and colleges.
It is our aim to present judiciously chosen and well-written workbooks to
meet everyday practical needs. The feedback of views from readers will be
most valuable to monitor the ess of this aim.
plete list of titles in this series appears at the end of the volume.
