The basic methods for inferring results from data are presented as well as tools for advanced tasks such as improving the signal-to-background ratio, correcting detector effects, determining systematics and many others. Concrete applications are discussed in analysis walkthroughs. Each chapter is supplemented by numerous examples and exercises and by a list of literature and relevant links. The book targets a broad readership at all career levels - from students to senior researchers. An accompanying website provides more algorithms as well as up-to-date information and links.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e* Free solutions manual available for lecturers at www.wiley-vch.de\/supplements\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e Olaf Behnke is a staff physicist at DESY (Hamburg) and an expert for the physics of heavy quarks.
