I want to use Cramer et al. (2009) raw data of oxygen and carbon isotopes for a very specific time period (around 2 Ma long) to compare it to my oxygen and carbon isotopes from terrestrial record. My aim is to show that my site is affectd by global factors by comparing Cramer's data with mine. I don't have the same sample resolution as Cramer's: he has about 1000 data points while I have about 300. How can I solve the problem of difference in data resolution? Which methods would you suggest to address this issue?
I also would like to statistically compare my data with Cramer's, but my data is terrestrial so the oxygen isotope values are much lower (around -7 per mil). I would like to be able to compare the trends, not the actual values. Would anyone know which test(s) I could use?
