Content |
Computer technologies for manipulating statistical data and computer simulation methods in ecology and environmental management. Numerical characteristics (such as measures of locations, measures of spread) used in the statistical models. The standard methods, different models intended to describe the distribution of impurities in the air, lakes and streams; characteristics of computer simulation. Possibility, advantages and disadvantages of different methods and limits of their applicability. Fulfillment of laboratory testes is connected with the calculation of the main numerical characteristics and calculation of pollution using specialized software. |
