MATLAB Guide to Statistics

By Peter Kattan

This book on Statistics using MATLAB is a straightforward guide. It comprises a MATLAB review in the initial chapters, followed by four chapters dedicated to Statistics. The subject matter is essential for students and researchers alike, especially those in fields such as marine science, biological sciences, psychological sciences, behavioral sciences, among others. The "statistics" chapters cover fundamental statistical concepts, such as measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, and graphical statistical output. Probability theory is not addressed in this beginner's book. The last two chapters delve into regression analysis, which is the main statistical tool used in building models. Though some readers suggested covering topics like hypothesis testing and ANOVA, the author felt they were beyond the scope of this beginner's book. However, these topics are thoroughly illustrated in specialized MATLAB books on statistics, and readers can refer to the updated reference list for titles of recommended books. The four chapters on statistics use the various "statistics" commands in the primary MATLAB package without resorting to the specialized Statistics Toolbox. The Statistics Toolbox is separately purchased from the MATLAB package and provides a set of advanced MATLAB commands for specialized and advanced statistical tools, which are beyond the book's scope. Numerous other statistics toolboxes are also available in the market.
