Reviews

From the reviews: IEEE ELECTRICAL INSULATION MAGAZINE "Virtually all data taken require some form of modeling and curve fitting. This excellent book will give the reader a very clear understanding of the techniques used for fitting most types of data; and, because it covers all the significant areas, it can serve as a reference source. Students and especially researchers involved with data taking and modeling will greatly benefit from this book."
