Text of Note
The authors take pains to use only elementary mathematics and explain the ecological models behind the techniques.
Text of Note
The purpose of this book is to show ecologists and environmental scientists what numerical and statistical methods are most useful, how to use them and interpret the results from them, and what pitfalls to avoid.
Text of Note
This is a reissue of a book first published in 1987 by Pudoc (The Netherlands).
Text of Note
This is the only book written specifically for ecologists that explains such techniques as logistic regression, canonical correspondence analysis, and kriging (statistical manipulation of data).
