Reading Between the Numbers: Statistical Thinking in Everyday Life
This quirky, fast-paced excursion through the world of statistics brings basic statistical concepts down to earth for general readers by showing how statistics are applied in our everyday lives. Drawing on such diverse examples as how pills are manufactured, elections are forecast, and chess tournaments are structured, psychologist Joseph Tal familiarizes readers with variables, means, medians, scales of measurement, sampling, estimating, and other stock-in-trade tools of the statistician.

Handbook of Modern Sensors: Physics, Designs, and Applications 4th Edition
The Handbook's coverage of sensors is extensive, ranging from simple photodiodes to complex devices containing components in combination. It offers hard-to-find reference data on the properties of numerous materials and sensing elements and emphasizes devices that are less well-known, whose technology is still being refined, and whose use permits the measurement of variables that were previously inaccessible.
Measurement Error: Models, Methods, and Applications
Measurement Error provides an understanding of measurement error, the effects of ignoring it, and how to correct for these effects. The book focuses on the models and methods involved and demonstrates how they can be implemented in practice. Keeping theory to a minimum with an appendix of theoretical background, it presents numerous examples from biostatistics and epidemiology as well as ecology and the social sciences.
Comparing Clinical Measurement Methods: A practical guide
It is difficult for medics and biostatisticians comparing two different methods of measuring to ascertain if either method is giving the true value of the quantity being measured. Comparing Clinical Measurement Methods provides the practical tools for analyzing method comparison studies along with guidance on what to report and how to plan comparison studies.
