Data Are for Looking At or Quality Control Through Interpretation

Source

A logical interpretive procedure for the examination of environmental data is described and its use illustrated. The procedure is used to eliminate errors, detect redundancies, detect and validate anomalies, examine water quality data sets, and improve analytical and sampling techniques. It is a first step towards thorough data analysis and should ensure that the data, which are subsequently used for geochemical or environmental purposes, are valid.
