{"product_id":"9780198568322","title":"Data Analysis","description":"Statistics lectures have been a source of much bewilderment and frustration for generations of students. This book attempts to remedy the situation by expounding a logical and unified approach to the whole subject of data analysis.This text is intended as a tutorial guide for senior undergraduates and research students in science and engineering. After explaining the basic principles of Bayesian probability theory, their use is illustrated with a variety of examples ranging from elementary parameter estimation to image processing. Other topics covered include reliability analysis, multivariate optimization, least-squares and maximum likelihood, error-propagation, hypothesis testing, maximum entropy and experimentaldesign.The Second Edition of this successful tutorial book contains a new chapter on extensions to the ubiquitous least-squares procedure, allowing for the straightforward handling of outliers and unknown correlated noise, and a cutting-edge contribution from John Skilling on a novel numerical technique for Bayesian computation called 'nested sampling'.","brand":"Devinderjit Sivia, John Skilling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45742558347582,"sku":"9780198568322","price":2591.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780198568322_85eba36c-923b-46b1-addb-149365be13e8.jpg?v=1707222856","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780198568322","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
