DESCRIPTION:
Excellent book and price!!! Lucy Taylor (MI USA) Even after 15 years of its original publication, this book is THE most complete reference concerning the application of advanced random functions in earth science problems. Unlike most statistics books, it combines a deep understanding of both statistics and earth sciences. I used it for many years in my research and now, at its very low price, I use it in my courses as well. Kudos!!!. An outstanding treatise on random models in Earth Sciences Secluded Path This is an excellent book, a clear and comprehensive text on modelling in the Earth Sciences using random variables. The author spends a good deal of space and effort discussing different applications and the many details that appear when you try to apply models. I also find interesting that the philosophical side of the field is not forgotten, so although the book contains pretty hard mathematics, it is not just dry formulas in it. Together with Cressie's "Statistics for spatial data", this book stands as my main reference within geostatistics. A gr
A critical and concise summary of the fundamental concepts and results of the general random field theory is followed by considerations of the intrinsic spatial random field model, the factorable random field model, the spatiotemporal random field model, and space transformations of random fields.Additional topics include random field modeling of natural processes, the simulation of natural processes, estimation in space and time, and sampling design.. This graduate-level text surveys the problems of earth and environmental sciences by means of theoretical models that have as an essential basis a purely random element. In addition to introducing students to spatiotemporal modeling as a fundamental methodology in the earth sciences, this volume illustrates the role of spatiotemporal modeling in the general framework of the scientific method.Starting with discussions of the science of the probable, the various theories of probability, and the physical significance of the random field model, the text explores a variety of problems in earth sciences in which the random field model constitutes an effective approach
