- Content
-
Introduction into extreme value statistics
- Extreme value distributions
- block maxima (BM) method
- peaks over threshold (POT) method
- regional frequency analysis
Introduction to geostatstics
- basic concepts
- variography of spatial data,
- statistical interpolation and prediction (kriging).
- advanced kriging methods
- geostatistical simulation
- Previous knowledge expected
-
Advanced statistics course. Good basic knowledge of statistics (Introduction to Statistics) and basic computer skills are required!
- Participants without basic knowledge of geostatistics are recommended to attend the course "851311 Environmental Statistics" before this course.
- Participants without basic knowledge of R and R-Studio are recommended to attend the course "851016 First Steps with R" which is held in a block at the beginning of the semester (Rcmdr knowledge alone is not sufficient).
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
Students gain basic knowledge of methods of extreme value statistics and geostatistics, their basic assumptions, and to the use of statistical software (R) to analyse data.
