A good discussion with many examples of nonparametric methods for the analysis and planning of comparative studies.
Nonparametrics: Statistical Methods Based on Ranks.Great book, especially for how to handle real problems such as "non-detectable values", the fallacies of R2, etc.Ĭheap (paperback) Reviews (I should re-read these about every year, then I may be able to remember the difference between one- and two-tailed tests!) Statistics for Environmental Engineers.Detailed descriptions of basic statistical methods for comparing experimental conditions and model building. Contains a good summary of sampling designs and methods to identify trends, unusual conditions, etc. Statistical Methods for Environmental Pollution Monitoring.General Statistics, Including Experimental Design Basic book with many simple ways to examine data to find patterns and relationships. A beautiful book with many examples of how to and how not to present graphical information. Graphics Press, Box 430, Cheshire, Connecticut 06410. The Visual Display of Quantitative Information.I use about half of these as supplemental texts in the graduate environmental engineering classes I teach, plus expect the PhD students to be familiar with the Of the thousands of US$ I have spent on statistics books, I have identified the following as the most useful for engineering research (I supplement these with SigmaStat/SigmaPlot for basic analysis, and SYSTAT for more advanced analyses). I am posting this very helpful contribution from Bob Pitt:Īnother category of books that you may want to post is for applied statistics. Water quality - characteristics, modeling, modification.Cesario, Lee., American Water Works Assoc. Modeling, analysis and design of water distribution systems.Groundwater contamination from stormwater infiltration.Gravity sanitary sewer design and construction.Design and construction of urban stormwater management systems.Mathematical handbook for scientists and engineers.Numerical solution of partial differential equations in science and engineering.Introduction to physics for scientists and engineers.et al., National Research Council of Canada
I have started to list from my own shelves recent rather than classic books on urban water systems that I use from time to time - if your favorites are not listed, by all means email details to me! My regrets that sources are not posted yet (later.!) can steal your ideas for the benefit of our students! Later I will post a summary. Well it's sometime since I troubled y'all for your list of most useful technical reference books.
