Abstract: |
The severity of the
incidents of recreational boats in Spain during 2011 is analyzed in terms of
the region in which the crafts were registered. The data was obtained and
coded from the damage reports of one of the main Spanish marine surveyors,
source that has been used for the first time to our knowledge in the academic
literature. About 1400 incidents are statistically compared in terms of
location, craft characteristics and skipper accreditations. Multiple
hypothesis tests of averages are used to determine which categories of the study
variables by location are different than the country average. |
