Data Analysis Methods

Over the past several decades, high-resolution sediment–charcoal records have been increasingly used to reconstruct local fire history. Data analysis methods usually involve a decomposition that detrends a charcoal series and then applies a threshold value to isolate individual peaks, which are interpreted as fire episodes. Despite the proliferation of these studies, methods have evolved largely in the absence of a thorough statistical framework. We describe eight alternative decomposition models (four detrending methods used with two threshold-determination methods) and evaluate their sensitivity to a set of known parameters integrated into simulated charcoal records. Results indicate that the combination of a globally defined threshold with specific detrending methods can produce strongly biased results, depending on whether or not variance in a charcoal record is stationary through time. These biases are largely eliminated by using a locally defined threshold, which adapts to changes in variability throughout a charcoal record. Applying the alternative decomposition methods on three previously published charcoal records largely supports our conclusions from simulated records. We also present a minimum-count test for empirical records, which reduces the likelihood of false positives when charcoal counts are low. We conclude by discussing how to evaluate when peak detection methods are warranted with a given sediment–charcoal record.

Synthesizing data analysis methods adopted under in situ global project in Nepal along withvariables and nature of study could be guiding reference for researchers especially to those involvedin on farm research. The review work was conducted with the objective to help in utilizing andmanaging in situ database system. The objectives of the experiment, the structure of the treatmentsand the experimental design used primarily determine the type of analysis. There were 60 papers ofthis project published in Nepal. All these papers are grouped under 8 thematic groups namely 1.Agroecosystem (3 papers), 2. Agromorphological and farmers’ perception (7 papers), 3. Croppopulation structure (5 papers), 4. Gender, policy and general (15 papers), 5. Isozyme andmolecular (6 papers), 6. Seed systems and farmers’ networks (5 papers), 7. Social, cultural andeconomical (11 papers) and 8. Value addition (8 papers). All these papers were reviewed basicallyfor data type, sample size, sampling methods, statistical methods and tools, varieties and purposes.Descriptive and inferential statistics along with multivariate methods were commonly used in onfarm research. Experimental design, the most common in on station trial was least used. Study overspace and time was not adopted. There were 5 kinds of data generated, 45 statistical tools adoptedin eight different crop species. Among the 5 kinds of data under these eight subject areas,categorical type was highest followed by discrete numerical. Binary type was least in frequency.Most of the papers were related to rice followed by taro and finger millet. Cucumber and pigeonpea were studied least. Descriptive statistics along with Χ2, multivariate analysis and regressionapproaches would be appropriate tools. Similarly SPSS and MINITAB may be good software. Thebest one among a number of statistical tools should be selected and utmost care must be exercisedwhile collecting data.Key words: Data analysis methods; on farm research; on station research; subject areasDOI: 10.3126/narj.v6i0.3371Nepal Agriculture Research Journal Vol.6 2005 pp.98-108
