This hands-on guide is primarily intended to be used in undergraduate laboratories in the physical sciences and engineering. It assumes no prior knowledge of statistics. It introduces the necessary concepts where needed, with key points illustrated with worked examples and graphic illustrations. In contrast to traditional mathematical treatments it uses a combination of spreadsheet and calculus-based approaches, suitable as a quick and easy on-the-spot reference. The emphasis throughout is on practical strategies to be adopted in the laboratory. Error analysis is introduced at a level accessible to school leavers, and carried through to research level. Error calculation and propagation is presented though a series of rules-of-thumb, look-up tables and approaches amenable to computer analysis. The general approach uses the chi-square statistic extensively. Particular attention is given to hypothesis testing and extraction of parameters and their uncertainties by fitting mathematical models to experimental data. Routines implemented by most contemporary data analysis packages are analysed and explained. The book finishes with a discussion of advanced fitting strategies and an introduction to Bayesian analysis.

Product description

Review

With the shift from analytic methods to spreadsheet-based techniques, this book will enable students simultaneously to (a) become fluent in the choice and application of appropriate methods (b) understand the underlying principles. ― David Saxon, University of Glasgow

This is a rather beautiful little book. ― David J. Hand, International Statistical Review

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book.
Reviewed in Canada on 9 September 2021
Verified Purchase
The book is not for novice or amateurs. It requires having some background in the calculus. The book useful for those who want to go deeper in the topic. I see some assignments for each section; however, there are no answers to the questions that allow to verify the solutions. In spite of it I recommend the book for those who have good background in calculus and want to improve their understanding in the subject of measurements and their uncertainties.

A very well written book. I bought it as it is the recommended.ended reading for a course I am undertakimg soon and I wanted to refresh my memory on the maths (its been a little while)

The explanations are clear and the overall subject isn't as dauntig as I thought it was going to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars great textbook
Reviewed in the United States on 16 January 2013
Verified Purchase
I have to agree with the other review. The textbook is inexpensive, well written, filled with examples and graphs, and keeps the math derivations to the bare minimum needed. I like it better than Taylor, which is long, and takes forever to get to the point. Hughes will get to the point immediately. Each chapter is fairly short and nice to read. I don't generally like long chapters for this type of thing, since the concepts are themselves very simple, they should be taught in a simple way, as this book does. There are of course some shortcomings (topics we'd like them to expand on, minor typos), but overall, this is the best book available at this time to teach or learn this kind of material at the undergraduate level.
