Environmental Data Analysis

More about the book

Focusing on maximum likelihood approaches, this introductory statistics textbook for environmental science emphasizes the Generalized Linear Model and its application to non-normally distributed data. Early chapters introduce key statistical distributions, while subsequent R-based how-to sections provide practical application and theory reinforcement. This structure supports a gradual learning curve, making complex concepts more accessible. Developed through years of teaching experience at the University of Freiburg, it lays a solid foundation for further study in parametric statistics within the environmental sciences.
