Recently statistical knowledge has become an important requirement and occupies a prominent position in the exercise of various professions. Every day the professionals use more sophisticated statistical tools to assist them in decision making.In the real world, the processes have a large volume of data and are naturally multivariate and as such, require a proper treatment. For these conditions it is difficult or practically impossible to use methods of univariate statistics.The wide application of multivariate techniques and the need to spread them more fully in the academic and the business justify the creation of this book. The objective is to demonstrate interdisciplinary applications to identify patterns, trends, associations and dependencies, in the areas of Management, Engineering and Sciences.The book is addressed to both practicing professionals and researchers in the field.
Taguchi's L 16 orthogonal array in the study of removal of total phenols using advanced oxidation processes was efficient. In the statistical assessment, the input variables obtained as significant through ANOVA were: hydrogen peroxide (F = 10.0924 and p-value = 5.02) and ozone (F = 3.8686 and p-value = 14.39). In this assessment, the best experimental condition for the removal of total phenols is 100%. The following factors must therefore be adjusted: hydrogen peroxide = 38, 7g and ozone flow = 3 L/h.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
