| Synopsis: |
This practical guide to probability and statistics explains these concepts that underpin all professional estimating. Alan Jones considers what are called Measures of Central Tendency; Means, Modes and Medians, describing the differences, relevance and uses for each in the context of Estimating and the like. The term Central Tendency is a reflection of the fact that data often clusters or centralises around a range of values. He then extends the concept of Central Tendency and explores Measures of Dispersion and Shape to describe how data is distributed or scattered around the Measures of Central Tendency; how the data is peaky or skewed (leaning to one side or other). The book explores a range of specific Probability Distributions that often describe very specific patterns of scatter and examines how some of these have specific properties that the estimator can exploit easily, often as Rules of Thumb that are accurate enough without being precise. Linear Dependence and Correlation forms the basis of the final section. It describes how you can measure these, and the problems (misinformation) that this can cause.It also looks at how you might enforce a level of correlation in your estimates when needed. |
