| Abstract: | Data on cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are generallycollected on a reactive basis, frequently in responseto bloom events. Such data presents a biased andincomplete snapshot of water quality. This paper looksat two typical data sets for UK waters showing thatwhile statistics may be used to describe the data theyare of limited use in forecasting. Suggestions ofappropriate tests for small and sparse data sets aremade. |
