Computational Statistics Handbook with MATLAB

---

Statistics is concerned with the science of uncertainty and can help the scientist deal with these questions. Many classical methods (regression, hypothesis testing, parameter estimation, confidence intervals, etc.) of statistics developed over the last century are familiar to scientists and are widely used in many disciplines [Efron and Tibshirani, 1991].
Now, what do we mean by computational statistics? Here we again follow the definition given in Wegman [1988]. Wegman defines computational statistics as a collection of techniques that have a strong “focus on the exploitation of computing in the creation of new statistical methodology.”
Many of these methodologies became feasible after the development of inexpensive computing hardware since the 1980’s. This computing revolution has enabled scientists and engineers to store and process massive amounts of data. However, these data are typically collected without a clear idea of what they will be used for in a study.
