Marcell Dekker, CRC Press. 2003. 595 p. — ISBN: 0-8247-0812- 1. — Mechanical Engineering, Volume 148.
This book discusses centroid and moment of inertia analogies for mean and variance and the organization structure of completely randomized, randomized complete block, and split spot experiment test programs.Providing probability and statistical concepts developed using pseudorandom numbers, this book covers enumeration-, simulation-, and randomization-based statistical analyses for comparison of the test performance of alternative designs, as well as simulation- and randomization-based tests for examination of the credibility of statistical presumptions.Contents Introduction Experiment Test Program Planning and Statistical Analysis Fundamentals Planned Experiment Test Programs with Orthogonal Conceptua Statistical Models Basic Probability and Statistics Concepts and Their MeehanicalReliability Applications The Classical Statistical Presumption of Norma I lyDistr touted Experiment Test Program Datum Values The Conceptual (Two-Parameter)Normal Distribution and the Associated Conceptual Sampling Distributions for Pearson's Central χ2 (Chi Square), Snedecor's Centra IF, and Student’s Central t Test Statistics Statistical Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) Linear Regression Analysis Mechanical Reliability Fundamentals and Example Analyses References

Preface
Mechanical reliability analysis is no longer limited to a small collection of classical statistical analyses. The speed of the present generation of microcomputers makes it possible to program an
