Engineering Uncertainty and Risk Analysis, Second Edition: A Balanced Approach to Probability, Statistics, Stochastic Models, and Stochastic ... and Stochastic Differential Equations. - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

An integrated coverage of probability, statistics, Monte Carlo simulation, inferential statistics, design of experiments, systems reliability, fitting random data to models, analysis of variance, stochastic processes, and stochastic differential equations for engineers and scientists. The author for first time presents an introduction to the broad field of applied engineering uncertainty analysis in one comprehensive, friendly, coverage.

Each concept is illustrated with several examples of relevance in engineering applications (no cards, colored balls, or dice):

INDEPENDENT REVISIONS

". . . offers the engineering community and integrated, balanced, and clear presentation to probability, statistics, stochastic models, and stochastic differential equations. The aim is to demonstrate to the reader that the fundamental principles are inherently simple and that the methods are practical and extremely useful in everyday engineering analysis or design. The book succeeds admirably in these aims." Aerospace (from the Royal Aeronautical Society).

". . .discusses uncertainty in engineering, contrasting it with uncertainty as usually encountered in pure science. The essential differences are beautifully explained, providing a philosophical and practical basis for the rest of the book. This essential introduction is lacking in most books on statistics applications in engineering ...Overall, the book presents clear and interesting descriptions and explanations. The level of mathematics is appropriate to reasonably numerate engineers, and the use of spreadsheets and Maple enhance the practical value to engineers. I strongly recommend this book to design and systems engineers. . ." Journal of Quality and Reliability Engineering International.

". . . written in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. It requires no prior background in statistics. The best part of the book is that it has numerous solved practical examples, end-of-the-chapter problems, and a significant amount of new material. The emphasis is on concepts and their illustration, and the author has made a concerted effort in avoiding lengthy derivations and this is an attractive feature from a student's perspective. I believe the book will be useful not only for teaching a course on uncertainty, risk and reliability but also for applying these concepts to solving practical engineering problems." Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment.
