Atmospheric dispersion statistics in the Lagrangian frame have been evaluated over open water by using a double-theodolite system to track neutrally buoyant balloons released a few kilometers offshore ...

A unified approach to large-sample statistical methods is provided via a quadratic approximation. Various methods of estimation obtained by minimizing (or maximizing) an objective function, and those ...

Spectroscopy has attracted the attention of many generations of scientists, beginning with Fraunhofer's discovery of dark lines in the Sun spectrum in 1814 and the work of Kirchhoff and Bunsen in 1859 ...

Knowing an average is not enough to properly describe a data set. You also need a measure of how dispersed the data is. Values that are packed closely together display greater consistency than those ...
