Description
Statistical Methods in Applied Chemistry deals in detail with the methods of statistical description and inference which are applied to chemical experimentation. It introduces the reader to the problems of random variables and their distributions, reviews principal statistical tests - both parametric and non-parametric, presents basic models of variance analysis, and deals with correlation of phenomena. The material is presented from the viewpoint of the experimenter. All methods are illustrated by numerical examples which reflect genuine experimental situations. Useful for students and teachers at universities and polytechnics, the book is of interest to scientists in all fields of pure and applied chemistry. Moreoever, it will be invaluable for researchers in all experimental sciences where statistical methods can be used.
