The book examines the principles, application conditions and implementation (in R software) of various analyses before interpreting them. The wide variety of analyses presented allows users to treat datasets, both large and small, which are often limited in terms of available processing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe approach taken by the author details (i) the preparation of a dataset prior to analysis, in relation to the scientific strategy and objectives of the study, (ii) the preliminary treatment of datasets, (iii) the establishment of a structure of objects (stations\/dates) or relevant variables (e.g. physicochemical, biological), and (iv) how to highlight the explanatory parameters of these structures (e.g. how the physico-chemistry influences the biological structure obtained).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProposes tools that can be used to deal with environmental data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsists on the adequacy between the scientific objectives and the types of analyses \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresent mathematical principles without going into detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers a wide range of important analyses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148659998960,"sku":"9780081023464","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780081023464_p0.jpg?v=1763638601","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780081023464","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
