The Interaction of Statistics and Geology -- Finite Deformations.

Abstract

The paper describes briefly the instances where the analysis of geological data has required the development of new statistical theory and methods. A new instance of this fruitful interaction of statistics and geology is then given. The theory of finite deformations is developed. Some of the classical and novel statistical problems which arise when objects embedded in a deformed rock are measured for strain estimation are discussed. (Author)
