Understanding statistical distributions is fundamental for researchers in almost all disciplines. The informed researcher will select the statistical distribution that best fits the data in the study at hand. Some of the distributions are well known to the general researcher and are in use in a wide variety of ways. Other useful distributions are less understood and are not in common use. The book describes when and how to apply each of the distributions in research studies, with a goal to identify the distribution that best applies to the study. The distributions are for continuous, discrete, and bivariate random variables. In most studies, the parameter values are not known \u003ci\u003ea prior\u003c\/i\u003ei, and sample data is needed to estimate parameter values. In other scenarios, no sample data is available, and the researcher seeks some insight that allows the estimate of the parameter values to be gained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis handbook of statistical distributions provides a working knowledge of applying common and uncommon statistical distributions in research studies. These nineteen distributions are: continuous uniform, exponential, Erlang, gamma, beta, Weibull, normal, lognormal, left-truncated normal, right-truncated normal, triangular, discrete uniform, binomial, geometric, Pascal, Poisson, hyper-geometric, bivariate normal, and bivariate lognormal. Some are from continuous data and others are from discrete and bivariate data. This group of statistical distributions has ample application to studies in statistics and probability and practical use in real situations. Additionally, this book explains computing the cumulative probability of each distribution and estimating the parameter values either with sample data or without sample data. Examples are provided throughout to guide the reader.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccuracy in choosing and applying statistical distributions is particularly imperative for anyone who does statistical and probability analysis, including management scientists, market researchers, engineers, mathematicians, physicists, chemists, economists, social science researchers, and students in many disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes 89 examples that help the reader apply the concepts presented\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains how to compute cumulative probability for all distributions including Erlang, gamma, beta, Weibull, normal, and lognormal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtilizes sample data to estimate parameter values of each distribution\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstimates parameter values when no sample data\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces Left-Truncated Normal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces Right-Truncated Normal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces Spread Ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45278892720279,"sku":"9783319879529","price":10187.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319879529.webp?v=1769292142","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/statistical-distributions-applications-and-parameter-estimates-9783319879529","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
