About this book series
Aims and Scope
Statistics plays a critical role in any modern use of technology in science and industry. Statistical concepts and methods are developed and applied in industries for various problems – for example, in order to monitor the quality of products, to plan effective and efficient designs to improve standards, to test and analyze the quality of items produced, and to accept (reject) conforming (nonconforming) units produced. The increased attention paid to these problems, and accompanying new statistical methodologies, has created an active and valuable new area of research and application-industrial statistics. The principal aim of the series is to sponsor publications addressing one or more of these critical information needs.
Publications in the series will contain statistical information that is accessible to an interdisciplinary audience: carefully organized authoritative presentations, numerous illustrative examples based on current practice, reliable methods, realistic data sets, and discussions of select new emerging methods and their application potential.
