Helge Toutenburg - Böcker

This book is the third revised and updated English edition of the German textbook \Versuchsplanung und Modellwahl" by Helge Toutenburg which was based on more than 15 years experience of lectures on the course \- sign of Experiments" at the University of Munich and interactions with the statisticians from industries and other areas of applied sciences and en- neering. This is a type of resource/ reference book which contains statistical methods used by researchers in applied areas. Because of the diverse ex- ples combined with software demonstrations it is also useful as a textbook in more advanced courses, The applications of design of experiments have seen a signi?cant growth in the last few decades in di?erent areas like industries, pharmaceutical sciences, medical sciences, engineering sciences etc. The second edition of this book received appreciation from academicians, teachers, students and applied statisticians. As a consequence, Springer-Verlag invited Helge Toutenburg to revise it and he invited Shalabh for the third edition of the book. In our experience with students, statisticians from industries and - searchers from other ?elds of experimental sciences, we realized the importance of several topics in the design of experiments which will - crease the utility of this book. Moreover we experienced that these topics are mostly explained only theoretically in most of the available books.

The book can be used as a text for courses in statistics at the graduate level and as an accompanying text for courses in other areas. Some of the highlights in this book are as follows. A relatively extensive chapter on matrix theory (Appendix A) provides the necessary tools for proving theorems discussed in the text and o?ers a selectionofclassicalandmodernalgebraicresultsthatareusefulinresearch work in econometrics, engineering, and optimization theory. The matrix theory of the last ten years has produced a series of fundamental results aboutthe de?niteness ofmatrices,especially forthe di?erences ofmatrices, which enable superiority comparisons of two biased estimates to be made for the ?rst time. We have attempted to provide a uni?ed theory of inference from linear models with minimal assumptions. Besides the usual least-squares theory, alternative methods of estimation and testing based on convex loss fu- tions and general estimating equations are discussed. Special emphasis is given to sensitivity analysis and model selection. A special chapter is devoted to the analysis of categorical data based on logit, loglinear, and logistic regression models. The material covered, theoretical discussion, and a variety of practical applications will be useful not only to students but also to researchers and consultants in statistics.

Statistische Verfahren werden in der Medizin und in allen Naturwissenschaften, in der Wirtschaft, in der Technik und zunehmend auch in den Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften eingesetzt.

Six Sigma ist im deutschsprachigen Raum stark im Kommen. Doch was ist Six Sigma? Six Sigma ist eine wissenschaftliche Managementmethode mit dem Ziel, Kundenbedürfnisse vollständig und profitabel zu erfüllen. Mit Hilfe von Six Sigma werden Prozesse optimiert, aus Kundensicht relevante Fehler reduziert und die Profitabilität des Unternehmens gesteigert. In jeder Phase eines Six-Sigma-Projektes werden statistische Methoden angewendet, um auf Basis objektiver Daten fundierte und faktenbasierte Entscheidungen treffen zu können. „Six Sigma – Methoden und Statistik für die Praxis“ vereint praxisnahes Expertenwissen aus Anwendung, Consulting und Wissenschaft. Es verfügt über zwei Schwerpunkte: DMAIC – die Six-Sigma-Methode zur Verbesserung von Prozessen – sowie Statistik. Beide Themen sind wissenschaftlich fundiert, anwendungsorientiert sowie durch Beispiele miteinander verknüpft. Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die Six Sigma bei der Bearbeitung von Projekten oder in Lehrveranstaltungen einsetzen wollen.

Das Arbeitsbuch ist eine Ergänzung zu den beiden Lehrbüchern von Helge Toutenburg Deskriptive Statistik und Induktive Statistik, deren voller Stoffumfang klausurrelevant für Haupt- und Nebenfachstudenten an deutschsprachigen Universitäten ist.

Statistische Verfahren werden sowohl in der Wirtschaft als auch in den Natur- und Sozialwissenschaften eingesetzt. Die Statistik gilt trotzdem als schwierig. Um diese Hemmschwelle zu überwinden, geben die Autoren eine didaktisch ausgefeilte, anwendungsbezogene Einführung in die Methoden der deskriptiven Statistik und Datenanalyse. Anhand praxisnaher Beispiele werden die Ideen des Datenmanagements und der Datenauswertung unter Einsatz von SPSS und R beschrieben. Viele Übungsaufgaben (mit Lösungen) unterstützen das (Selbst-) Studium der Leser. Das Buch deckt den Stoff Statistik I an deutschsprachigen Universitäten vollständig ab. Neu in dieser Auflage ist eine Einführung in die logistische Regression, deren Konzept auch anhand der statistischen Software SPSS und R erläutert wird. Des Weiteren wurden viele Beispiele und Übungsaufgaben thematisch überarbeitet.

This book is a translation of the up-dated version of my German textbook that was written parallel to my lecture "Design of Experiments" which I held at the University of Munich. It was often called to my attention by statisticians in the pharmaceutical in- dustry, that there is a need for a summarizing and standardized representation of the design and analysis of experiments, that includes the different aspects of classical theory for continuous response and of modern procedures for categori- cal and especially correlated response, as well as more complex designs, as for example cross-over and repeated measures. My staff and graduate students played an essential part in the preparation of the manuscript. They wrote the text in well-tried precision (Andreas Fie- ger), worked out examples (Andreas Fieger, Christian Kastner), and prepared several sections in this book (Ulrike Feldmeier, Sabina Illi, Elke Ortmann, An- drea Schopp, Irmgard Strehler, Christian Kastner, Oliver Loch). I am appreciative of the efforts of those who assisted in the preparation of the English version. In particular, I would like to thank Sabina Illi and Oliver Loch, as well as V.K.Srivastava (University of Lucknow, India) for their careful reading of the English version and invaluable suggestions.
