Statistics in Earth Sciences in 6 Steps
After 30 years of teaching statistical methods in the geosciences, I would like to give a few tips for our next generation. Back then, I was in awe of a term like chi-square test and kept my hands off it for a long time. However, I could not avoid complicated methods such as spectral analysis and filtering, because my doctoral project was about signal processing of paleoceanographic time series. Here we go.
