Statistical Intervals, 2nd Edition

Index

See Appendix A for a listing of notation. Page numbers for some of the terms listed in Appendix A can be found in this subject Index. Particular data sets and applications are listed under Examples, indicating the first occurrence of an application within a chapter. A listing of probability distributions is given under Probability distributions, distribution name. For pages giving technical information and applications of the more important probability distributions, look under the probability distribution name (e.g., Weibull, applications). When there are more than a few page references for an entry and if the first listed page(s) are not the most appropriate for general first purposes, the suggested page number is set in bold. Instead of an Author index, page numbers are given at the end of each references, pointing to the page(s) where the reference is cited.
