Description
An up-to-date edition of the indispensable guide to analysing palaeontological data
Palaeontology has developed in recent decades into an increasingly data-driven discipline, which brings to bear a huge variety of statistical tools. Applying statistical methods to palaeontological data requires a discipline-specific understanding of which methods and parameters are the most appropriate, and how to account for statistical bias inherent in the fossil record.
By guiding the reader to these and other fundamental questions in the statistical analysis of fossilised specimens, Paleontological Data Analysis has become the standard text for anyone interested in the quantitative analysis of the fossil record. Now fully updated to reflect the latest statistical methods and disciplinary advances, it is an essential tool for practitioners and students alike.
Readers of the second edition of Paleontological Data Analysis will also find:
- New sections on machine learning, Bayesian inference, phylogenetic comparative methods, analysis of CT data, and much more
- New use cases and examples using PAST, R, and Python software packages
- Full colour illustrations throughout
Paleontological Data Analysis is ideal for palaeontologists, evolutionary biologists, taxonomists, and students in any of these fields.
