Descripción

Statistical Methods in the Atmospheric Sciences, Fourth Edition, continues the tradition of trying to meet the needs of students, researchers and operational practitioners. This updated edition not only includes expanded sections built upon the strengths of the prior edition, but also provides new content where there have been advances in the field, including Bayesian analysis, forecast verification and a new chapter dedicated to ensemble forecasting.

Puntos claves

  • Provides a strong, yet concise, introduction to applied statistics that is specific to atmospheric science
  • Contains revised and expanded sections on nonparametric tests, test multiplicity and quality uncertainty descriptors
  • Includes new sections on ANOVA, quantile regression, the lasso and other regularization methods, regression trees, changepoint detection, ensemble forecasting and exponential smoothing
