GLY 529LEC - Analysis of Geol Data 1


Geological data, like most natural systems, rarely fits neatly into the assumptions of standard statistical approaches. Further, it often has a historical aspect (we only have one Earth from which to draw data) which is unusual among the natural sciences. This course focuses on geological problem-solving using probabilistic thinking, nonparametric resampling, time series analysis, and spatial statistics with real-world data. Analyses will typically be performed in the R programming environment. Students will be taught how to write their own code over the course of the semester, with an emphasis on clarity and reproducibility.
