Applied Statistics by Lothar Sachs

Applied Statistics by Lothar Sachs

This outline of statistics as an aid in decision making will introduce a reader with limited mathematical background to the most important modern statistical methods. This is a revised and enlarged version, with major extensions and additions, of my "Angewandte Statistik" (5th ed.), which has proved useful for research workers and for consulting statisticians. Applied statistics is at the same time a collection of applicable statistical methods and the application of these methods to measured and/or counted observations. Abstract mathematical concepts and derivations are avoided. Special emphasis is placed on the basic principles of statistical formulation, and on the explanation of the conditions under which a certain formula or a certain test is valid. Preference is given to consideration of the analysis of small sized samples and of distribution-free methods. As a text and reference this book is written for non-mathematicians, in particular for technicians, engineers, executives, students, physicians as well as researchers in other disciplines. It gives any mathematician interested in the practical uses of statistics a general account of the subject. Practical application is the main theme; thus an essential part of the book consists in the 440 fully worked-out numerical examples, some of which are very simple; the 57 exercises with solutions; a number of different compu­ tational aids; and an extensive bibliography and a very detailed index. In particular, a collection of 232 mathematical and mathematical-statistical tables serves to enable and to simplify the computations.

Dipl. Inform. Jurgen Hedderich ist Leiter des Fachbereiches Biometrie und statistische Auswertungsprogramme am Institut fur Medizinische Informatik und Statistik an der Christian-Albrechts-Universitat in Kiel. Er war lange Zeit verantwortlich fur die Organisation und Durchfuhrung der Vorlesungen und Ubungen zur Biometrie (Biomathematik fur Mediziner). Schwerpunkt seiner Tatigkeit ist seit 20 Jahren die biometrischen Beratung und Anwendung von Statistiksoftware bei der Realisierung klinischer und anderer Studien, wobei konzeptionelle und datananalytische Aspekte dominieren. Dies fuhrte zu einer Koautorenschaft in zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Publikationen.
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Lothar Sachs, Emeritus am Institut fur Medizinische Informatik und Statistik der Universitat Kiel, hat sich als Professor fur Medizinische Statistik und Epidemiologie fur Neuentwicklungen der statistischen Methodik interessiert und sie fur Anwender geniessbar aufbereitet, uber den Rahmen der Medizin hinaus und vier weitere Lehrbucher der Statistik veroffentlicht; Ubersetzungen ins Amerikanische, Russische, Spanische und Ungarische liegen vor.
