부산대학교 도서관

A variety of advanced topics are introduced to offer greater challenge for beginners and to answer thorny questions often asked by early researchers who are just starting to use chi-squared analysis. Topics covered include probability density functions, p-values, the derivation of the chi-squared probability density function and its uses, reduced chi-squared, the Poisson distribution, and advanced techniques for maximum likelihood estimation in cases where uncertainties are not Gaussian or the model is nonlinear. Problems are included (with solutions in an appendix).
