The Handbook of Statistical Methods for Engineers and Scientists

Rating:
Summary: One Stop Statistical Library for Engineers & Scientists
Review: I am a Six Sigma Master Black Belt (A.K.A. teacher and coach of Industrial Statistics & Project Management). I am frequently on the road and own the first edition of this book (out of print, 20 Chapters) and I refer to it at least one a week. Have reviewed a copy of the second (1998) edition (21 Chapters) wich includes an additional Acceptance Sampling chapter (...can't inspect quality into a product). This is a handy reference that I carry in my brief case instead of 20 different statistics and quality control textbooks. Dr. LLoyd S. Nelson says: "Haryy Wadsworth is to be commended for originating this useful work now in its second Edition." (Journal of Quality Technology, July 1999). He also states: "Editing a (statistics) handbook containing 21 chapters written by over two dozen authors must be something like driving a 20-mule team." Don't know about Prof. Wadsworth and his 20+ mules, but I certainly appreciate and use this handy and compact reference.
