Titre : | Tools for constructing chronologies : crossing disciplinary boundaries | Type de document : | texte imprimé | Auteurs : | Caitlin E. BUCK, Editeur scientifique ; Andrew R. MILLARD, Editeur scientifique | Editeur : | Springer Verlag | Année de publication : | Cop. 2004 | Collection : | Lecture notes in statistics num. 177 | Importance : | XIX-257 p. | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-1-85233-763-6 | Langues : | Anglais | Mots-clés : | chronologie méthode statistique décision statistique de Bayes | Résumé : | Tools for Constructing Chronologies focuses on ways of getting more out of existing chronological data by careful analysis. It surveys a range of cutting edge methods in chronology construction and seeks to enable cross-disciplinary fertilisation of ideas.
The specially invited papers cover a range of timescales, from the perspectives of a number of disciplines. The methods used range from complex statistical treatments, to (non-statistical) considerations of how to systematically represent relative dating information. Each chapter can be read alone, but they are also carefully cross-referenced. The editors' introductory essay provides a cross-disciplinary overview of the state of chronology construction methods, and highlights the links between them.
This book will appeal to a wide range of researchers, scientists and graduate students using chronologies in their work; from applied statisticians to archaeologists, geologists and paleontologists, to those working in bioinformatics and chronometry. | Note de contenu : | index, références |
