Record Values and Surviving Glacial Moraines |
|
| Authors: | Roger Johnson |
| Abstract: | Estimating the number of glacial advances from surviving glacial debris can, amazingly enough, be cast as a records problem for which there is a substantial statistical literature. As a result, instructors may illustrate method of moments and maximum‐likelihood estimation techniques with an interesting problem in the physical sciences. |
