I have tried to talk about three areas in which I think newer techniques of data analysis will come into, or be developed in, geophysics which will advance our knowledge about the plasma-like, gaseous, liquid, and solid earth: (i) developments along the line of the concepts of the spectrum, with emphasis both on the use of cross-spectral methods of studying relationship and on bispectrum and higher methods of studying nonlinearities (including modulations) and frequency interactions; (ii) wise choice of modes of expression for analysis; (iii) the use of methods appropriate and effective in situations where distributions of errors and fluctuations do not have exactly the magic bell-shaped distribution.
我试图探讨三个领域，在这些领域中，我认为更新的数据分析技术将会进入地球物理学领域，或者在该领域得到发展，这些技术将增进我们对类等离子体、气态、液态和固态地球的认识：（i）沿着频谱概念的发展方向，重点是运用交叉谱方法研究关系，以及运用双谱和更高阶方法研究非线性（包括调制）和频率相互作用；（ii）明智地选择分析的表达模式；（iii）在误差和波动分布并非恰好呈神奇的钟形分布的情况下，使用合适且有效的方法。
