Wiley Statistical Control by Monitoring and Adjustment 2e & Statistics for Experimenters: Design, Innovation, and Discovery 2e Set (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)

This set contains: Statistical Control by Monitoring and Adjustment, Second Edition (978-0-470-14832-7)Recent research has shown that monitoring techniques alone are inadequate for modern Statistical Process Control (SPC), and there exists a need for these techniques to be augmented by methods that indicate when occasional process adjustment is necessary. Statistical Control by Monitoring and Adjustment, Second Edition presents the relationship among these concepts and elementary ideas from Engineering Process Control (EPC), demonstrating how the powerful synergistic association between SPC and EPC can solve numerous problems that are frequently encountered in process monitoring and adjustment.The book begins with a discussion of SPC as it was originally conceived by Dr. Walter A. Shewhart and Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Subsequent chapters outline the basics of the new integration of SPC and EPC, which is not available in other related books. Thorough coverage of time series analysis for forecasting, process dynamics, and non-stationary models is also provided, and these sections have been carefully written so as to require only an elementary understanding of mathematics. Extensive graphical explanations and computational tables accompany the numerous examples that are provided throughout each chapter, and a helpful selection of problems and solutions further facilitates understanding.Statistical Control by Monitoring and Adjustment, Second Edition is an excellent book for courses on applied statistics and industrial engineering at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for statisticians and quality control practitioners working in industry.Statistics for Experimenters: Design, Innovation, and Discovery, Second Edition (978-0-471-71813-0)This fresh approach to statistics focuses on applications in the physical, engineering, biological, and social sciences. From the beginning its source of ideas is the scientific method itself and the need of the investigator to make his or her research as effective as possible through proper choice and conduct of experiments and appropriate analysis of data. After a problem is stated, appropriate statistical methods of design and analysis are discussed. And frequently, examples are presented for which standard mathematical assumptions are wrong, thus forcing the reader’s attention onto the essential precautions necessary in the conduct of the experiment to ensure valid conclusions. Statistical practitioners themselves, the authors provide scientists and engineers with a lucid introduction to the basic statistical methods needed for research. From the Back Cover Praise for the First Edition "This book . . . is a significant addition to the literature on statistical practice . . . should be of considerable interest to those interested in these topics."--International Journal of Forecasting Recent research has shown that monitoring techniques alone are inadequate for modern Statistical Process Control (SPC), and there exists a need for these techniques to be augmented by methods that indicate when occasional process adjustment is necessary.
