Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Questions the currently accepted minimum sample size of twenty for lead isotope data. Twenty would be satisfactory if the assumption of normality sometimes used in analysing lead isotope was correct, but it is inadequate for checking this assumption or detecting non-normal structures within a field. Evidence based on both real and simulated data is put forward to argue that forty may be a more realistic minimum, with even this not always being adequate. The consequences of incorrectly assuming normality, and alternative methods of analysis that do not involve this assumption are investigated. | ||
