This book works as a step-by-step resource to provide understanding of the concepts and applications of hypothesis testing in the field of environmental science. The tests are presented in simplified form without relying on complex mathematical proofs to allow researchers to easily locate the most appropriate test and apply it to real-world situations. Each example is accompanied by a case study showing the application of the method to realistic data.
This book provides step-by-step guidance in analyzing and testing various environmental data for researchers, postgraduates and graduates of environmental sciences, as well as academics looking for a book that includes case studies of the applications of hypothesis testing. It will also be a valuable resource for researchers in other related fields and those who are not familiar with the use of statistics who may need to analyze data or perform hypothesis tests in their research.
- Includes step-by-step tutorials to aid in the understanding of procedures and allowing implementation of suitable tests
- Presents the theory of hypothesis testing in a simple yet thorough manner without complex mathematical proofs
- Describes how to implement hypothesis testing in analyzing and interpretation environmental science data
Researchers, postgraduates and academics in environmental science. Undergraduates in environmental science, researchers and academics in any field of life science such as aquatic science and related fields such as biology and biomedical sciences
