Random Data or Rough Guide to the iPhone

Random Data: Analysis and Measurement Procedures

Author: Allan G Piersol

The classic reference on the theory and application of random data analysis-now expanded and revised. This eagerly awaited new edition of the bestselling random data analysis book continues to provide first-rate, practical tools for scientists and engineers who investigate dynamic data as well as those who use statistical methods to solve engineering problems. It is fully updated, covering new procedures developed since 1986 and extending the discussion to a remarkably broad range of applied fields, from aerospace and automotive industries to biomedical research. Comprehensive and self-contained, this new edition also greatly expands coverage of the theory, including derivations of key relationships in probability and random process theory not usually found in books of this kind. Special features of Random Data: Analysis and Measurement Procedures, Third Edition include:
* Basic probability functions for level crossings and peak values of random data
* Complete derivations of both old and new practical formulas for statistical error analysis of computed estimates
* The latest methods for data acquisition and processing as well as nonstationary data analysis
* Additional techniques on digital data analysis procedures
* New material on the analysis of multiple-input/multiple-output linear systems
* Numerous new examples and problem sets
* Hundreds of updated illustrations and references

*An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.

Bendat and Piersol, both of whom have their own engineering company, produced the 1966 first edition as the practical reference for working engineers and scientists who work with random data in any discipline, for various US government agencies; it was titled . Shortly thereafter, computer technology opened a wide range of new techniques, and they updated their work in 1986. Since then, in addition to the continuing dialectic between developments in computer power and calculation techniques, two developments have shaped the third edition: their publication of a sister volume even more narrowly focused on practical applications, and the increasing use of this work as a teaching text for advanced courses on analyzing random processes. Therefore, their revisions here enhance the features useful in classrooms, including rigorous proofs and derivation of more of the basic relationships in random process theory, which are difficult to find elsewhere.
