| Abstract: | Two data sets, one from surface sediment samples obtained from a subtidal sand wave and another consisting of three wave-height records representing different oceanographic conditions, are employed to test the application of maximum entropy (ME) and optimal number of class interval (K) concepts. Each data set was modified further to obtain a frequency distribution determined by eight unequal-size class intervals. Both original and modified sets were treated by a reliable statistical method. Comparison of relative entropies and results from statistical treatments show the advantage of the transformation of any original data set by means of ME and K methods before analyzing it further.Contribution 127, Instituto Argentino de Oceanografia. |
