Probability and Statistics in Experimental Physics

This book is intended as a practical guide for advanced undergraduates to the use of probability and statistics in experimental physics. The emphasis is on applications and understanding, on techniques that are used in experimental physics, and on the use of computers. This second edition includes a new chapter on queuing problems (such as, how large a buffer does one need deal with a random stream of data), and it introduces a new method for dealing with experiments in which only a few events are observed.
