Handbook of Environmental and Ecological Statistics

This handbook focuses on the enormous literature applying statistical methodology and modelling to environmental and ecological processes. The 21st century statistics community has become increasingly interdisciplinary, bringing a large collection of modern tools to all areas of application in environmental processes. In addition, the environmental community has substantially increased its scope of data collection including observational data, satellite-derived data, and computer model output. The resultant impact in this latter community has been substantial; no longer are simple regression and analysis of variance methods adequate. The contribution of this handbook is to assemble a state-of-the-art view of this interface. Features:An internationally regarded editorial team.A distinguished collection of contributors.A thoroughly contemporary treatment of a substantial interdisciplinary interface.Written to engage both statisticians as well as quantitative environmental researchers.34 chapters covering methodology, ecological processes, environmental exposure, and statistical methods in climate science.
