Applied Life Data Analysis
von Wayne B. NelsonWILEY-INTERSCIENCE PAPERBACK SERIES
The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selectedbooks that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effortto increase global appeal and general circulation. With these newunabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives ofthese works by making them available to future generations ofstatisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.
"Many examples drawn from the author's experience ofengineering applications are used to illustrate the theoreticalresults, which are presented in a cookbook fashion... it provides anexcellent practical guide to the analysis of product-lifedata."

Now a classic, Applied Life Data Analysis has been widelyused by thousands of engineers and industrial statisticians toobtain information from life data on consumer, industrial, andmilitary products. Organized to serve practitioners, this bookstarts with basic models and simple informative probability plotsof life data. Then it progresses through advanced analyticalmethods, including maximum likelihood fitting of advanced models tolife data. All data analysis methods are illustrated with numerousclients' applications from the author's consulting experience.
