Martin В.R. Statistics for Physicists

London: Academic Press, 1971. — 210 p.This book has its origin in a set of notes on basic statistical ideas and techniques which I wrote in 1968 while a member of the Theoretical Physics Group at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In rewriting those notes, I have taken the opportunity to extend the discussion of some topics, and to include several new ones, with the result that the material in this book represents a far more detailed and systematic account of statistics as used by physicists. It should also be useful for other physical scientists and engineers.
I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Leonardo Castillejo, for generously reading most of the text, and for making many useful suggestions which have greatly helped to improve the presentation. Thanks are also due to Mrs. Janice Harring for patiently typing the manuscript.
Finally, acknowledgment is made to the McGraw-Hill Book Company, Cambridge University Press and the Biometrika Trustees, I.C.I. Ltd., and Butterworth and Co. Ltd., for their kind permission to reproduce the tables of Appendix D. I am also indebted to the Literary Executor of the late Sir Ronald A. Fisher, F.R.S., to Dr. Frank Yates, F.R.S., and to Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh, for permission to reprint tables from their book “Statistical Tables for Biological, Agricultural, and Medical Research”.
