How will the use of statistics help solve this problem? Which techniques should be used? Statistics for Environmental Engineers, Second Edition helps environmental science and engineering students answer these questions when the goal is to understand and design systems for environmental protection. The second edition of this bestseller is a solutions-oriented text that encourages students to view statistics as a problem-solving tool. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in an easy-to-understand style, Statistics for Environmental Engineers, Second Edition consists of 54 short, \"stand-alone\" chapters. All chapters address a particular environmental problem or statistical technique and are written in a manner that permits each chapter to be studied independently and in any order. Chapters are organized around specific case studies, beginning with brief discussions of the appropriate methodologies, followed by analysis of the case study examples, and ending with comments on the strengths and weaknesses of the approaches. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNew to this edition: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eThirteen new chapters dealing with topics such as experimental design, sizing experiments, tolerance and prediction intervals, time-series modeling and forecasting, transfer function models, weighted least squares, laboratory quality assurance, and specialized control charts\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eExercises for classroom use or self-study in each chapter\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eImproved graphics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eRevisions to all chapters \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether the topic is displaying data, t-tests, mechanistic model building, nonlinear least squares, confidence intervals, regression, or experimental design, the context is always familiar to environmental scientists and engineers.
