By GEORGE S. KOCH, JR., U.S. Bureau of Mines, and RICHARD F. LINK, Artronic Information Systems, Inc.
The geologist or student of geology who wishes to draw conclusions from numerical data, or who wants to plan the collection of numerical data, will find in this volume clear, concise, and practical advice. Problem solving, for academic as well as applied field and laboratory studies, is the focus of the book. Only those basic statistical methods that yield reliable results for geological problems are stressed, and only statistical methods already applied to the analysis of actual geological data are included.
This book is for readers with some geological training but with little or no statistical knowledge. Besides geologists, the book will interest mining and petroleum engineers, geochemists and geophysicists, mineral economists, and others concerned with applied statistics.

This book is for readers with some geological training but with little or no statistical knowledge. Besides geologists, the book will interest mining and petroleum engineers, geochemists and geophysicists, mineral economists, and others concerned with applied statistics.
This volume has three parts. The first is an introduction, pointing out the essential place of statistics in modern geology. The second part, through the analysis of actual and fictitious geological data, explains univariate methods for the analysis of single variables. The third part takes up general principles and specific techniques of geological sampling and concludes with a discussion of the sources of variability in geological data and ways to cope with them.
