Abstract
We have begun to experience in data gathering and analysis in modern ecological and environmental work a space age/stone age syndrome. Also we are challenged to break into the cycle of no information, new information, and non‐information while dealing with soft data, hard looks, and prudent decision‐making involving errors of the third and the fourth kind in addition to those of the first and the second type.Weighted distribution methods arise in the context of data gathering, modeling, inference, and computing, and help provide a unified approach in dealing with encountered data.Keywords
