E. (James Edward) Statistical methods in radiation physics / by James E. Turner, Darryl J. Downing, James S. Bogard. [electronic resource] Weinheim : Wiley-VCH ; Chichester : John Wiley [distributor], 2012. 1 online resource (xiv, 452 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references (pages 441-443) and index. The statistical nature of radiation, emission, and interaction -- Radioactive decay -- Sample space, events, and probability -- Probability distributions and transformations -- Discrete distributions -- Continuous distributions -- Parameter and interval estimation -- Propagation of error -- Measuring radioactivity -- Statistical performance measures -- Instrument response -- Monte Carlo methods and applications in dosimetry -- Dose-response relationships and biological modeling -- Regression analysis -- Introduction to Bayesian analysis. "This statistics textbook, with particular emphasis on radiation protection and dosimetry, deals with statistical solutions to problems inherent in health physics measurements and decision making. The authors begin with a description of our current understanding of the statistical nature of physical processes at the atomic level, including radioactive decay and interactions of radiation with matter. Examples are taken from problems encountered in health physics, and the material is presented such that health physicists and most other nuclear professionals will more readily understand the application of statistical principles in the familiar context of the examples. Problems are presented at the end of each chapter, with solutions to selected problems provided online. In addition, numerous worked examples are included throughout the text."-- Provided by publisher. Print version record. Radiation Statistical methods. Radiation dosimetry Statistical methods.
