Statistical Tools for Environmental Quality Measurement
This book provides a detailed review of statistical tools used in
analyzing and addressing environmental issues. This book examines
commonly-used techniques found in USEPA guidelines and discusses their
potential impact on decision-making. The authors are not constrained by
statistical formalism; they advise when to go outside of standard
statistical models when making difficult decisions. The content is
presented in a practical style that emphasizes methods that work, based
upon the authors' extensive experience. The text points out that
simplicity facilitates effective communication of an analysis and
decision to a "consumer" of statistics. The book emphasizes the exact
question that each procedure addresses, so that environmental
scientists and engineers can clearly identify the question they want to
ask, and correctly interpret the results.
