Description for Models for Ecological Data: An Introduction
Hardback. Facing ecological data sets of unprecedented size and complexity, environmental scientists are struggling to understand and exploit powerful statistical tools for making sense of ecological processes. This work introduces them to these methods in modeling and computation. It also describes how complexity can motivate a shift to Bayesian methods. Num Pages: 632 pages, 163 line illus. 21 tables. BIC Classification: JHBC; RN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 255 x 210 x 40. Weight in Grams: 1680.
The environmental sciences are undergoing a revolution in the use of models and data. Facing ecological data sets of unprecedented size and complexity, environmental scientists are struggling to understand and exploit powerful new statistical tools for making sense of ecological processes. In Models for Ecological Data, James Clark introduces ecologists to these modern methods in modeling and computation. Assuming only basic courses in calculus and statistics, the text introduces readers to basic maximum likelihood and then works up to more advanced topics in Bayesian modeling and computation. Clark covers both classical statistical approaches and powerful new computational tools and describes ... Read more
