Riassunto

This volume explores the interfaces between the different areas of application of environmental statistics and considers the future applications of methods arising from environmental statistics. Some contributions deal specifically with specialized statistical techniques developed for analyzing environmental data, along with mathematical models designed to integrate large amounts of environmental data into a coherent picture of particular environmental systems. Other contributions examine the problems involved in co-ordinating data collection over large geographical areas and over many dimensions of measurement relevant to environmental issues. Finally, a number of the contributions analyze the problems of formulating specific environmental policies given the nature of the information that has been made available by environmental statistical methods.

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

Environmental Statistics: Analysing Data for Environmental Policy Chairman: Vic Barnett 1999 Environmental statistics is an important and rapidly growing discipline. It is important not only as a division of professional and academic statistics, but also in the gathering of data on environmental effects and in the formulation of environmental policy by government agencies. This book brings together contributions from policymakers, scientists actively involved in collection of data, and professional, academic and government statisticians, with the aim of exploring the interfaces between the different areas of application of environmental statistics and to consider the future applications of methods arising from environmental statistics. Some of the contributions in the book deal specifically with environmental models and methods. Here, the contributors explain specialized statistical techniques that have been developed for analysing environmental data, and mathematical models which have been applied to the problem of integrating large amounts of environmental data into a coherent picture of particular environmental systems. Several of the contributions deal specifically with the problems involved in co-ordinating data collection over large geographical areas and over many dimensions of measurement relevant to environmental issues. Finally, the book discusses the problems of formulating specific environmental policies given the nature of the information that has been made available by environmental statistical methods.
