| Description: |
This book details an array of numerical and statistical techniques used in palaeolimnology and other branches of palaeoecology, including exploratory data analysis, error estimation, clustering, ordination and modern statistical learning techniques. |
| Synopsis: |
Numerical and statistical methods have rapidly become part of a palaeolimnologist's tool-kit. They are used to explore and summarise complex data, reconstruct past environmental variables from fossil assemblages, and test competing hypotheses about the causes of observed changes in lake biota through history. This book brings together a wide array of numerical and statistical techniques currently available for use in palaeolimnology and other branches of palaeoecology. ?
