Sommario/riassunto

For an introductory, one or two semester, sophomore-junior level course in Probability and Statistics or Applied Statistics for engineering, physical science, and mathematics students.     This text is rich in exercises and examples, and explores both elementary probability and basic statistics, with an emphasis on engineering and science applications. Much of the data have been collected from the author's own consulting experience and from discussions with scientists and engineers about the use of statistics in their fields. In later chapters, the text emphasizes designed experiments, especially two-level factorial design.

Sommario/riassunto

“Instead of broad and general policy advice, we get specific and concrete recommendations grounded in a profound understanding of the problems they aim to address.” – Harald Rohracher, Professor of Technology & Social Change, Linköping University, Sweden “A must-read for policymakers, researchers, and anyone invested in the European Green Deal's success.” – Wen Liu, Assistant Professor in the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Utrecht University, The Netherlands “This book highlights the crucial role of research and knowledge in policymaking processes and underscores the often underestimated potential of creating connections between SSH and STEM.” – Marta Arosio, Community Manager, Energy Cities, Belgium This open access book foregrounds novel collaborations between the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines, for the benefit of European energy policy. Each chapter has been led by a team spanning social and technical disciplines. The book proposes 10 policy recommendations to: Simplify the uptake of community energy; Prioritise societal engagement in geothermal; Create co-learning for energy communities; Facilitate energy literacy; Support place-based strategies for retrofit; Promote integrated policy design for agrivoltaics; Increase social acceptability of low-carbon technologies; Protect digital energy infrastructure; Understand stakeholder perceptions of energy-efficiency measures; and Rethink energy system models to support the just transition. It will be of interest to anyone developing, implementing or critiquing energy policy (locally, nationally or internationally) as well as those looking to expand the use of interdisciplinary research to achieve sustainability goals. Part of a three-volume collection covering climate, energy, and mobility policy.
