Introduces many of the practical adaptive statistical methods and provides a comprehensive approach to tests of significance and confidence intervals.

Takes the reader step by step through the techniques of eliciting and analysing expert judgment, with special attention given to helping the reader develop elicitation methods and tools adaptable to a variety of unique situations and work areas.

Sport and statistics collide in this collection of articles (from American Statistical Association publications) on using statistics to analyze sport.

Probabilists and fuzzy enthusiasts tend to disagree about which philosophy is best. As a result, textbooks usually suggest only one of these methods for problem solving, but not both. This book is an exception - it provides a practical guide showing that both fuzzy logic and probability have their place in the world of problem solving.

With an up-to-date summary of methods used to construct confidence intervals in normal-based random and mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA) models, this comprehensive book will be useful to scientists in all fields of application who wish to construct interval estimates for ANOVA model parameters.

Contains examples from a wide variety of fields adapted from real-world applications and data with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. The book is front loaded, so potential analysis of means users can find solutions to standard problems in the first five chapters.
