Using Python to Solve Statistical Problems

This companion book to the textbook Statistics for Chemical and Process Engineers A Modern Approach provides a complete overview of how to use Python to solve typical statistical problems in engineering. In addition to short sections on the required theory, the focus of the book is on detailed, Python code blocks for solving the specific problems. Furthermore, solutions are provided for standard problems that can then be re-used and modified as necessary. End-of-chapter questions allow the reader to independently test the knowledge acquired.
