Sinossi
Best practice in engineering involves the use of modern statistical techniques. This volume brings these techniques together, and the emphasis is on modelling. The topics include: random number generation, reliability and quality assurance; univariate and multivariate extreme value distributions; regression methods; Bayesian methods; time series analysis; Markov chains and stochastic dynamic programming; variograms and kriging; spectral analysis and wavelets; and design of experiments. The methods are introduced with practical examples, drawn from research and consultancy experience, and the underlying mathematical concepts are clearly explained in an informal manner. Readers are given enough information to write their own programs, but references to useful commercial software are also provided. A brief summary of a typical first course in statistics is included as an appendix.

Recensione
If there were ever any doubts about the importance of statistics to civil engineering, this book should put that to rest... useful to civil engineering professionals and consulting statisticians as a reference...I appreciate the author's breadth of coverage and his clear writing style. (American Statistical Association Journal)

About the book >.>.> Civil engineers have always had to deal with uncertainty, but they are now expected to do so in more accountable ways. Probability theory provides a mathematical description of random variation, and enables us to make realistic risk assessments. Statistics is the analysis of data, and the subsequent fitting of probability models. Computers continue to push back the limits imposed by the arithmetic and, to some extent, the algebraic manipulation involved. This greatly increases the scope of feasible analyses. The range of applications within civil engineering is vast, and I have aimed to show this through practical examples. The book is structured around the main application areas, in the following way.
