As far as data analysis goes, beyond the basics mean, sigma, chisquared fits it would be good for you to understand maximum likelihood fits particularly multidimensional ml fits. The shape of the probability density function is independent of the choice of bin size, and thus always looks the same unlike associated histograms. In most cases, data reduction and summ arization consists of either averaging or summing travel time or speed data. A probability density function appears as the smooth curve over the columns of a histogram, in the limit of infinite measurements. If ithe data consist of n measured values of n, call them n 1, n 2, n 3, then the mean n and standard deviation, are given by 2 the standard deviation which is the square root of the variance, is a rough measure of the width of.
