Description for Computational Statistics in the Earth Sciences: With Applications in MATLAB
hardcover. This book combines theoretical underpinnings of statistics with practical analysis of Earth sciences data using MATLAB. Supplementary resources are available online. Num Pages: 480 pages, 169 b/w illus. BIC Classification: PBT; PDE; RB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 246 x 189. .
Based on a course taught by the author, this book combines the theoretical underpinnings of statistics with the practical analysis of Earth sciences data using MATLAB. The book is organized to introduce the underlying concepts, and then extends these to the data, covering methods that are most applicable to Earth sciences. Topics include classical parametric estimation and hypothesis testing, and more advanced least squares-based, nonparametric, and resampling estimators. Multivariate data analysis, not often encountered in introductory texts, is presented later in the book, and compositional data is treated at the end. Datasets and bespoke MATLAB scripts used in the book ... Read more

Reviews for Computational Statistics in the Earth Sciences: With Applications in MATLAB
'One of the main strengths of this book is the combination of mathematical rigor with extensive examples, allowing readers to work through case studies to better understand the concepts presented. The tool used for this purpose is MATLAB, which is widely used in the earth science community. Examples are drawn from geophysics, astrophysics, and anthropology (among others). Both the scripts ...
