Abstract. The aim of this work is to analyze latitude measurements typically used in historical geographical works through a statistical approach. We use two sets of different age as case studies: Ptolemy's Geography and Riccioli's work on geography. A statistical approach to historical latitude and longitude databases can reveal systematic errors in geographical georeferencing processes. On the other hand, once exploiting the right statistical analysis, this approach can also lead to new information about ancient city locations.

纬度测量的一种统计方法:托勒密和里乔利的地理工作作为案例研究

摘要。这项工作的目的是通过统计方法分析历史地理工作中通常使用的纬度测量结果。我们以两组不同年龄作为案例研究:托勒密的地理学和里乔利的地理学工作。历史纬度和经度数据库的统计方法可以揭示地理地理配准过程中的系统错误。另一方面,一旦利用了正确的统计分析,这种方法也可以带来有关古城位置的新信息。
