This is not another book on engineering economics. Rather, this book is directed to the engineering manager or the undergraduate student preparing to become an engineering manager, who is, or will become, actively engaged in the management of economic risk trade-off decisions for engineering investments within an organi- zational system. In today’s global economy, this may mean managing…
Researchers and practitioners have been analyzing data for centuries, by using techniques ranging from traditional statistical tools to more recent machine learning and decision-making methods. Until recently, however, limitations on computing abilities necessitates the use of simplifying assumptions and models, and processing data samples instead of all the available data.

Second editions of books allow us the rare opportunity to look back at what we were saying and doing some years ago, to reflect, to consider what has changed for the better or worse. In 2004 we did not hold back in our concerns for the environment.
