Abstract
Statisticians continue to find it difficult overcoming the diffidence of researchers in other fields, particularly those boasting their own deterministic quantitative tools. Environmental statistics offers numerous pointers to the possible narrowing of this divide: it is capable, in fact, of dealing with the problems of variability and uncertainty, of modelling special forms of dependence, of summarising complexity using indices governing the theoretical aspects of problems, and of taking account of the process of data production.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
