Statistics is a science that helps us make decisions and draw conclusions in the presence of
variability. For example, civil engineers working in the transportation field are concerned about
the capacity of regional highway systems. A typical problem related to transportation would
involve data regarding this specific system’s number of nonwork, home-based trips, the number
of persons per household, and the number of vehicles per household. The objective would be
to produce a trip-generation model relating trips to the number of persons per household and
the number of vehicles per household. A statistical technique called regression analysis can be
used to construct this model. The trip-generation model is an important tool for transportation
systems planning. Regression methods are among the most widely used statistical techniques in
engineering. They are presented in Chapters 11 and 12.
