How does data evidence matter in decision-making in healthcare? How do you implement and maintain cost effective healthcare operations? Do decision trees help to sharpen decision making? This book will answer these questions, demystifying the many questions by clearly showing how to analyse data and how to interpret the results - vital skills for anyone who will go on to work in health administration in hospitals, clinics, pharmaceutical or insurance industries. Written by an expert in health and medical informatics, this book introduces readers to the fundamentals of operational decision making by illustrating the ideas and tools to reach optimal healthcare, drawing on numerous healthcare data sets from multiple sources. Aimed at an audience of graduate students and lecturers in Healthcare Administration and Business Administration courses and heavily illustrated throughout, this book includes up-to-date concepts, new methodologies and interpretations using widely available software: Excel, Microsoft Mathematics, MathSolver and JASP.

This book provides the theoretical framework needed to build, analyze and interpret various statistical models. It helps readers choose the correct model, distinguish among various choices that best captures the data, or solve the problem at hand.This is an introductory textbook on probability and statistics. The authors explain theoretical concepts in a step-by-step manner and provide practical examples. The introductory chapter in this book presents the basic concepts. Next, the authors discuss the measures of location, popular measures of spread, and measures of skewness and kurtosis. Probability theory, discrete distributions, and important continuous distributions that are often encountered in practical applications are analyzed. Mathematical Expectation is covered, along with Generating Functions and Functions of Random Variables. It discusses joint distributions, and novel methods to find the mean deviation of discrete and continuous statistical distributions. Provides insight on coding complex algorithms using the 'loop unrolling technique'Covers illuminating discussions on Poisson limit theorem, central limit theorem, mean deviation generating functions, CDF generating function and extensive summary tablesContains extensive exercises at the end of each chapter and examples from interdisciplinary fieldsStatistics for Scientists and Engineers is a great resource for students in engineering, physical sciences, and management, and also practicing engineers who require skill sets to model practical problems in a statistical setting.

A short chapter on logarithmic series distribution follows it, in which a theorem to find the kth moment of logarithmic distribution using (k-1)th moment of zero-truncated geometric distribution is presented.

This is an introductory book on continuous statistical distributions and its applications. Chapter 1 discusses important concepts on continuous distributions like location-and-scale distributions, truncated, size-biased, and transmuted distributions.

The Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and its extensions along with applications in actuarial sciences is discussed in Chapter 11. The Laplace distribution and its applications in navigational errors is discussed in the next chapter. Chapter 15 discusses Student's ???? distribution, its extensions and applications in statistical inference.

Specifically, the book discusses probability GFs (PGF), moment and cumulant GFs (MGF, CGF), mean deviation GFs (MDGF), survival function GFs (SFGF), rising and falling factorial GFs, factorial moment, and inverse factorial moment GFs.

This book provides an introductory overview of random variables and their transformations. The authors have updated and expanded upon their writing on these topics, which they originally covered in their previous book, Statistics for Scientists and Engineers.

This book provides an introductory overview of random variables and their transformations. The authors approach the topic with statistics students in mind, along with researchers in various fields who are interested in data analysis. The book begins with by defining and explaining mathematical expectation. The authors then discuss transformations of random variables, including distribution functions and special functions. The book also covers joint probability distribution and its applications. The authors have updated and expanded upon their writing on these topics, which they originally covered in their previous book, Statistics for Scientists and Engineers.
