It encourages readers to delve deeper into the fascinating field of statistics, a branch of mathematics that enhances our understanding of the world around us. Designed to provide enough material for a short introductory course, Statistics for Scientists caters to students at all levels. It emphasizes real-world applications, providing scientists with the tools they need to conduct more reliable and valid studies, ultimately contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge. Learn to interpret statistical results accurately and draw meaningful conclusions from your data, significantly contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge. Structured to deliver a clear overview of statistics and data analysis for scientific research, the book begins with fundamental concepts, including random variables, outcome spaces, and the distinction between descriptive and inferential statistics. It then explores data types, measures of central tendency, dispersion, and position. The discussion continues with an examination of outliers and various methods for identifying them. As the chapters progress, more complex topics such as distributions, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis are introduced in a step-by-step manner. This structure makes the book suitable for readers ranging from beginners to those seeking a quick refresher. The author has selected key concepts that anyone interested in using statistics should be familiar with. Some topics, such as hypothesis testing, are covered briefly; a more comprehensive treatment would require a stronger background in statistics and mathematics (such as calculus). With pedagogical elements that include text boxes with Definitions, Examples, and Warnings, this book introduces the necessary concepts of statistics for scientists described in a short and concise way, enriched with tips and rigorous explanations. This book is an invaluable resource for scientists seeking to improve their data analysis skills and contribute to the growing body of scientific knowledge through rigorous and reliable research. 606 $aMathematical statistics$xData processing 606 $aComputer science$xMathematics 606 $aMathematical statistics 606 $aStatistics 606 $aStatistics and Computing 606 $aProbability and Statistics in Computer Science 606 $aStatistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences 615 0$aMathematical statistics$xData processing. 615 0$aComputer science$xMathematics. 615 0$aMathematical statistics. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 14$aStatistics and Computing. 615 24$aProbability and Statistics in Computer Science. 615 24$aStatistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences. 676 $a519.5 700 $aMichelucci$b Umberto$01059671 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9911016076003321 996 $aStatistics for Scientists$94410361 997 $aUNINA
