Statistical Techniques for Transportation Engineering

This book presents basic statistical techniques useful to the students of transportation engineering at both under graduate and post graduate level. It is intended for systematic reading. The fundamental  concepts of measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, Random variable, discrete and continuous distributions, Binomial distribution, Poisson distribution, Normal distribution, Mathematical  expectation, Moments, Skewness, kurtosis, Curve fitting, Correlation, Partial correlation, Multiple correlation,  Regression, hypothesis testing, time series and index numbers are discussed. Each topic in the book is treated in a systematic and logic manner. The book contains many examples and solved problems. Also a wide variety of exercise were given at all levels. (jacket)
