Sommario/riassunto |
|
The extended peace the world anticipated following the decisive Allied victory in the Second World War was abruptly shattered in June 1950 by the invasion of South Korea by communist North Korea. Responding to a United Nations' call to assist the South Korean regime, Canada deployed an 8000-man brigade to the peninsula to fight as part of an American-led UN force. This comprehensive account of the Canadian campaign in Korea provides the first detailed study of the training, leadership, operations, and tactics of the brigade under each of its three wartime commanders as well as its relationship with American and Commonwealth allies. An impeccably researched analytical history, the book examines the uneven performance of the various Canadian units and argues that the soldiers of the "Special Force" initially sent to Korea were more thorough and professional in their operations than were the army's regular battalions that eventually replaced them at the front. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book describes the probability theory associated with frequently used statistical procedures and the relation between probability theory and statistical inference. The first third of the book is dedicated to probability theory including topics relating to events, random variables, and the Central Limit Theorem. Statistical topics then include |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parameter estimation with confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, chi-square tests, t tests, and several non-parametric tests. Flow charts are frequently used to facilitate an understanding of the material considered. The examples and problems in the book all concern simple data sets which can be analyzed with a simple calculator; however, the R code required to complete many examples and problems is provided as well for those that are interested. |
