Geo-statistical methods

The object of this chapter is to illuminate the existing approaches, which are used for the quantification and interpretation of benthic material fluxes. The emphasis is put on the regional and global interactions with other parameters by introducing different concepts for the investigation of spatial distribution patterns. The comparison of results from geo statistical methods and the opportunities given by modern geographical information systems (GIS) will be placed in the center of the observations.

Katritzky et al. [88] and Jug [89] and others [14,22,57] have shown recently that aromaticity is a multidimensional phenomenon. For this purpose they applied statistical methods (the principal component or factor analyses [51,90,91]) which need application of many indices of aromaticity estimated (experimentally or calculated theoretically) for many molecular systems. Thus their conclusion is of great general importance but no information may be extracted for any individual molecule or its fragment. The method presented above, the separation of HOMA value into EN and GEO terms, allows us to describe numerically which of these two factors is... 

Experimental datasets are useful for prototyping, testing, and demonstrating statistical methods. There are a number of sources of sample datasets accessible from Bioconductor, including the Bioconductor repository and the GEO database. In the Bioconductor repository, there is a collection of R packages that contain experimental data from different high-throughput experiments and the current set can be found by... 

Saenton and Illangasekare (2007) proposed a method to upscale the mass transfer rate coefficient for numerical simulation of mass transfer in heterogeneous source zones where NAPLs are entrapped. The basic approach involves the use of geo-statistical parameters of the heterogeneity and the statistics that describes how the NAPL saturation is distributed in the source zone. Through numerical experiments the authors demonstrated that the mass transfer is most sensitive to the vertical smearing of the NAPL that is represented by the second moment of the saturation distribution. The upscaled mass transfer correlation is given by...
