Statistics and Probabilities
Abstract
Statistics and probability play a fundamental role in the design, analysis, and decision-making processes in engineering. Many infrastructure systems rely on statistical methods to assess uncertainties, forecast future events, and optimize performance based on observed data. Measurements collected from various sensors, such as rainfall gauges, river discharge stations, wave recorders, and traffic counters require statistical analysis to extract meaningful insights and ensure their applicability in engineering design.
