Computational Methods for Time-Series Analysis in Earth Sciences bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, offering a deep dive into the utilization of R programming for managing, analyzing, and forecasting time-series data within the Earth sciences. The book systematically unfolds the layers of data manipulation, graphical representation, and sampling to prepare the reader for complex analyses and predictive modeling, from the basics of signal processing to the nuances of machine learning. It presents cutting-edge techniques, such as neural networks, kernel-based methods, and evolutionary algorithms, specifically tailored to tackle challenges, and provides practical case studies to aid readers. This is a valuable resource for scientists, researchers, and students delving into the intricacies of Earth's environmental patterns and cycles through the lens of computational analysis. It guides readers through various computational approaches for deciphering spatial and temporal data.
