Книга Paleontological data analysis (Авторы: Hammer Ø. ) описывает ключевые численные методы в палеонтологии, а также методологию, используемую в современных программных пакетах.
Книга состоит из разделов, которые охватывают важные техники и анализ данных в области палеонтологии: морфометрия, филогенетический анализ, биостратиграфия и другие.
Каждый раздел подробно описывает различные техники с примерами применения, иллюстрациями и интересными историями. Описание каждой техники содержит информацию об ее особенностях, требованиях к данным, функциях и реализации, а также предостережения при применении. Важно отметить, что книга Hammer Øy. "Paleontological data Analysis" и ее программное обеспечение, представленное на сайте www.pastsoftware.com, являются незаменимыми инструментами для всех исследователей, студентов и сотрудников, интересующихся количественной палеонтологией в быстро развивающейся области.
Over the past ten years, numerical methods have started to outperform in paleontology research. They not only help in the analysis of morphology and phylogeny, but they also apply to biostratigraphic, paleobiographic, and ecological analyses. Today's application of such methods encompass extremely wide fields of paleontology study. The work of "Paleontological Data Analysi" is intended to describe the most essential numerical techniques of palenology, of those who have come into use, and how they job in the present-day software packages available right nowadays. A variety of estimation methods are used up and cover in great detail in this book. There is a variety of measurements applied in this analysis and they vary by subject areas. With instances and pictures being presented from departments of follow-up, the text of this book explains what the purpose of the measurement is, what kind of information is required to use this sort of measure, and what programming techniques can be applied to obtain results.

Описание книги от Hammer Øyvind
During the last 10 years numerical methods have begun to dominate paleontology. These methods now reach far beyond the fields of morphological and phylogenetic analyses to embrace biostratigraphy, paleobiogeography, and paleoecology. Paleontological Data Analysis explains the key numerical techniques in paleontology, and the methodologies employed in the software packages now available. Following an introduction to numerical methodologies in paleontology, and to univariate and multivariate techniques (including inferential testing), there follow chapters on morphometrics, phylogenetic analysis, paleobiogeography and paleoecology, time series analysis, and quantitative biostratigraphy Each chapter describes a range of techniques in detail, with worked examples, illustrations, and appropriate case histories Describes the purpose, type of data required, functionality, and implementation of each technique, together with notes of caution where appropriate The book and the accompanying PAST software package (see www.blackwellpublishing.com/hammer) are important investigative tools in a rapidly developing field characterized by many exciting new discoveries and innovative techniques An invaluable tool for all students and researchers involved in quantitative paleontology
