Analyzing Ecological Data

Analyzing Ecological Data by Alain Zuur, Elena N. Ieno, Graham M. Smith.

This book provides a practical introduction to analysing ecological data using real data sets collected as part of postgraduate ecological studies or research projects. The first part of the book gives a largely non-mathematical introduction to data exploration, univariate methods (including GAM and...
