From the text...'In this note, we describe an interactive tutorial on fire frequency analysis, composed of a set of hyperlined spreadsheet documents, programmed in Excel for Windows. This format allows us to present complete working examples of how each method is applied, using a sample data set. The reader is given opportunities to interact with each example, and can directly access all the formulae that are used in each calculation. This presentation makes the application of the method to a data set more transparent. Many of the example spreadsheets may also be suitable as templates for analysis of other fire history data sets. These features help one to gain a more thorough understanding of the subject material than is possible from reading papers alone.'
