Paleontological Data Analysis explains the key numerical techniques in paleontology, and the methodologies employed in the software packages now available. Each chapter describes a range of techniques in detail, with worked examples, illustrations, and appropriate case histories. The purpose, type of data required, functionality, and implementation of each technique are described, together with notes of caution where appropriate. The book and the accompanying PAST software package - available through www.blackwellpublishing.com/hammer - are important investigative tools in a rapidly developing field characterized by many exciting new discoveries and innovative techniques. Paleontological Data Analysis is an invaluable tool for all students and researchers involved in quantitative paleontology.
