Crowder S. Introduction to Statistics in Metrology 2020 torrent

Textbook in PDF format

This book is the result of many years of collaboration between the Primary Standards Laboratory and the Statistical Sciences Department at Sandia National Laboratories. Project work together, publications, and many discussions regarding how to best use statistics in metrology have culminated in this manuscript. With this book, we wish to present statistical best practices to both students and practitioners of metrology.
The book brings together in one place many of the basic statistical methods that have been applied to problems in metrology, plus much more. It not only includes methods presented in the JCGM 100 “Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement” (aka, the GUM), but also presents topics in metrology seldom covered elsewhere. These topics include the design of experiments and statistical process control in metrology, uncertainties in curve fitting, assessment of binary measurement systems, and sample size determination in metrology studies. The book is not intended as a replacement for the GUM or other guiding documents from metrology bodies. Rather, it is intended as a companion resource for the student, technologist, engineer, or scientist involved in measurement studies. The chapters were chosen to provide a blend of topics that will both inform and challenge students and practitioners of metrology.
As a textbook, it is intended for junior or senior level college students studying engineering, statistics, or metrology within a specific discipline. It can also be used at the graduate level for students in instrumentation and measurement classes who are learning the basics of metrology and the statistical methods behind uncertainty analyses. As a prerequisite, readers should have a basic knowledge of calculus and probability and statistics. Related readings that go beyond the scope of the book are included in each chapter. We have also included exercises at the end of each chapter to further illustrate and emphasize material in the body of the book
