TEXTBOOK INFORMATION
In a broad sense environmetrics examines a variety of environmental issues, such as the effects of environmental factors on public health, toxic environmental exposure and meteorological studies. Piegorsch (U. of South Carolina) and Bailer (Miami U.) take these applications into account as they describe uncertainty and sensitivity analysis, linear and nonlinear regression, generalized linear models, risk assessment with stimulus-response data, temporal data and autoregressive modeling, spatially-correlated data, sampling, probability, statistics inference, and combining environmental information such as in meta-analysis and historical control information. Piegorsch and Bailer give a comprehensive authors' index and recommend references for those needing more background information for this relatively new field.
