SMT : a spatial mapping tool for statistical data set
Using the GIS techniques, and supported by Auto CAD software, the A. develops a practical method to make statistical maps and a software (SMT) to make small-scale statistical maps using C language.

. Rock-cored drumlins are more morphologically diverse and occur on high-level plateaus and upland flanks. Morphometric analysis reveals both spatial and statistically significant absolute differences between the elongation ratios and orientations

Based on meteorological data obtained from more than 700 meteorological stations in 30 years running in China, the A. made statistical analysis of China's arid area by applying Thornwaite's formula. The development of desertification

In the presence of correlation between error terms in set delineation and choice selection, statistical estimators are biased (selection bias). An alternative two-stage method is proposed to estimate parameters of set delineation and choice

The study takes a critical look at meteorological input parameters to dispersion models in a coastal zone with complex topography. Statistical analyses of historical data from a nuclear power station on the SW coast of South Africa forms the main
bivariate approachwill be assessed in subenvironment discrimination. The suite statistics approach discussed by Tanner (1991) will also be assessed as a tool in distinguishing between environments and subenvironments. Exploratory data analysis
Two modifications of this model, accounting for the long lines effect are proposed. The first modification deals with the instant reaction of customers at long queues and incorporates the statistical dependence of their behaviour. In the second
model customer behaviour is determined by past data, which make their behaviour statistically independent. The concept of self-consistent distribution is introduced, its existence is investigated, and properties of self-consistent distributions
of this study were to analyse the extent of variation and elucidate patterns of spatial microvariability of pH on a millet field test plot on a clayey soil using classical statistics and geostatistics.

This study attempts to refine fingerprinting procedures by using a quantitative composite fingerprinting technique encompassing statistical verification for composite signatures and a multivariate sediment-mixing model, to investigate source type
