Chaos in real data

"This book studies the range of data analytic techniques available to study nonlinear population dynamics for ecological time series. Several case studies are studied using typically short and noisy population data from field and laboratory. A range of modern approaches, such as response surface methodology and mechanistic mathematical modelling, are applied to several case studies. Experts appraise how well these methods have performed on their data.

The accessible style of the book ensures its readability for non-quantitative biologists."--BOOK JACKET.
