Discover practical statistical tools for environmental data and remote sensing.

This concise tutorial surveys key ideas in making sense of data, from exploring what the data really show to building and testing simple models.

The book introduces the workflow of a statistical inquiry in clear, accessible terms. It covers how to frame questions, choose data, and examine results without heavy math, while pointing readers to references for deeper study. Practical examples focus on real-world data and the kind of problems scientists encounter when analyzing environmental and geophysical information.

Learn simple, robust ways to summarize data and reveal structure, including graphics and basic numerical measures.
Compare methods for fitting relationships, from least squares to robust and median-based approaches, with attention to outliers.
Understand how to model probabilities and events, including logistic regression and conditional approaches for practical prediction.
See how to diagnose models, validate findings, and interpret uncertainties in environmental contexts.

Ideal for readers new to statistics or researchers in remote sensing and related fields who want approachable, applied guidance. This edition aims to help you think like a data analyst, with concrete steps you can apply to your own datasets.
