This one-day course will survey the use of survival/reliability analysis and nonparametric techniques for the analysis of censored environmental data. Nonparametric and maximum likelihood methods for calculating descriptive statistics, testing hypothesis, and computing regression equations will be illustrated using the freely-available R statistical environment. Methods include two versions of estimating a Kendall-Theil-Sen line for censored data, applicable (unlike MLE) to doubly-censored data. The course covers material from the NADA contributed package for R.
