Statistical Computation for Environmental Sciences in R by James S Clark

Statistical Computation for Environmental Sciences in R by James S Clark

Introduces ecologists to modern methods in modeling and computation. This book covers both classical statistical approaches and computational tools and describes how complexity can motivate a shift from classical to Bayesian methods. It introduces readers to the practical work of data modeling and computation in the language R.

"In summary, Models for Ecological Data is an important text for those interested in ecological problems, which require computationally intensive methodsThe level of the text is such that the reader should have a strong quantitative background (masters degree or higher in a quantitative discipline). The accompanying lab manual is a must for those who have this text and want to put the material to practice. The text and accompanying lab manual would serve as a good textbook for a graduate course in quantitative ecology provided that the students have the necessary mathematical background."--Timothy J. Robinson, Journal of the American Statistical Association
