Introductory Probability and Statistics: Applications for Forestry and Natural Sciences

"With the growing interest in areas of forestry, conservation and other natural sciences, the ability to organize and tabulate large amounts of information has become a necessary skill. Previous attempts of applying statistical methods to these areas have tended to be over-specialized and of limited use; an elementary text using methods, examples and exercises that are relevant to forestry and the natural sciences is long overdue." "Basic descriptive statistics and probability as well as commonly used statistical inferential tools are used to introduce topics that are commonplace in a forestry context, such as hypothesis testing, design of experiments, sampling methods, non-parametric tests and statistical quality control. Examples and exercises are also drawn from the fields of forestry, wood science and conservation." "Designed for an undergraduate course in forestry and natural sciences, this will be an essential text for students but also a valuable reference for practitioners researchers."--BOOK JACKET.Kozak, K. is the author of 'Introductory Probability and Statistics: Applications for Forestry and Natural Sciences', published 2007 under ISBN 9781845932756 and ISBN 1845932757.
