An accessible introduction to statistical methods for students in the climate sciences.

Recenzje

'… Timothy DelSole and Michael Tippett aim to streamline students' mathematical training by collecting the most important methods into a single textbook … As more climate scientists venture into such subtle problems as whether to attribute extreme events like prolonged heat waves to climate change, the critical statistical thinking skills fostered in Statistical Methods for Climate Scientists will be of increasing importance.' Brad Marston, Physics Today
