Description
The 4th edition of this handbook is based on Minitab Version 12. Material on graphical displays is integrated into chapters on testing and estimation. Simulation has its own chapter and material on multiway analysis of variance is included. The text shows by example and step-by-step instruction how to use Minitab to explore and analyze data.
