Since the first edition of this book appeared, computers have come
to the aid of modern experimenters and data analysts, bringing with
them data analysis techniques that were once beyond the
calculational reach of even professional statisticians. Today,
scientists in every field have access to the techniques and
technology they need to analyze statistical data. All they need is
practical guidance on how to use them.

Valuable to everyone who produces, uses, or evaluates scientific
data, Statistical Techniques for Data Analysis, Second Edition
provides straightforward discussion of basic statistical techniques
and computer analysis. The purpose, structure, and general
principles of the book remain the same as the first edition, but
the treatment now includes updates in every chapter, additional
topics, and most importantly, an introduction to use of the MINITAB
Statistical Software. The presentation of each technique includes
motivation and discussion of the statistical analysis, a
hand-calculated example, the same example calculated using MINITAB,
and discussion of the MINITAB output and conclusions.
