Statistical analyses of the numbers, lengths, and orientations of
fission tracks etched in minerals yield dating and thermal history
information valuable in geological and geoscience applications,
particularly in oil exploration. Fission tracks can be represented
mathematically by a stochastic process of randomly oriented line
segments in three dimensions, and this "line segment" model can
describe and explain the essential statistical features of the
data, providing a rigorous foundation for quantitative modelling
and simulation studies. Statistics for Fission Track Analysis
explores the line segment model and its consequences for the
analysis and interpretation of data. The author derives the
equations for fission track data and the theoretical probability
distributions for the number, orientation, and length measurements
of the tracks. He sets out the theory of fission track dating and
through numerical examples, presents methods for analyzing and
interpreting fission track counts. Later chapters address
statistical models for situations in which samples contain mixtures
of fission track ages. These methods, along with observation
features of the various measurements, are illustrated by real
examples. Finally, the author brings together the theoretical and
observation aspects to formulate a joint likelihood function of
counts, lengths, and angles as a basis for parametric thermal
history modelling. An appendix provides general notes on
statistical concepts and methods. Designed for broad accessibility,
this is the first book to fully cover the statistical foundations
of fission track analysis. Whether you work in a fission track lab,
in archaeological, geological, or geochronological research, or in
geological applications of statistics, you will find the background
material and practical tools you need to optimize the use of
fission track analysis in your work and to make further advances in
the field.
