Use of multivariate statistical methods in data-base maintenance     

Douglas M. Hawkins  Desmond S. Kew 《Mathematical Geology》1974,6(1):47-57

Multivariate statistical methods may be used to enhance large data bases by predicting missing information and verifying unchecked data vectors. In addition, new techniques may be used for exploratory purposes to investigate the interrelationships between variables. The techniques are being applied successfully in coal mining.  相似文献   

Some consequences of applying lognormal theory to pseudolognormal distributions     

Richard F. Link  George S. Koch Jr. 《Mathematical Geology》1975,7(2):117-128

A logarithmic transformation may be used to improve the efficiency of estimates of the mean when observations follow the lognormal distribution. But if this transformation is applied to observations that follow another distribution, bias may be introduced. We consider some consequences of erroneously applying lognormal estimation theory and demonstrate that biased estimates may be obtained for certain classes of distributions. Illustrations of bias obtained in gold sampling are given.  相似文献   

SHORT COMMUNICATION APPLICATION OF THE POWELL METHOD TO THE OPTIMIZATION OF FLOW INJECTION SYSTEMS     

M.DELVALLE  J.ALONSO  M.POCH  J.BARTROLí 《地理学报(英文版)》1988,(Z1)

This paper describes the application of the Powell algorithm to the optimization of a flow injectionsystem configuration.The performance of this algorithm has been compared with the modified simplexmethod.The system studied is the determination of ammonia,based on the indophenol blue reaction.Alinear combination of sensitivity and sample throughput is used as the objective function because of itssimultaneous optimization capability.Results obtained show that the proposed method may reach theoptimal conditions with a lower number of experimental evaluations.  相似文献

New aspects of the equilibrium pole tide     

S. R. Dickman  D. J. Steinberg 《Geophysical Journal International》1986,86(2):515-529

Summary. We have developed a new spherical harmonic algorithm for the calculation of the loading and self-gravitating equilibrium pole tide. Based on a suggestion of Dahlen, this approach minimizes the distortions in tide height caused by an incomplete representation of the ocean function. With slight modification our approach easily could be used to compute self-gravitating and loading luni-solar tides as well.
Using our algorithm we have compared the static pole tide with tide observations at a variety of locations around the world. We find statistically significant evidence for pole tide enhancements in mid-ocean as well as the shallow seas.
We have also re-investigated the effect of the static tide on the Chandler wobble period. The difference between the wobble period of an oceanless, elastic earth with a fluid core (Smith & Dahlen) and the period of an earth minus static oceans yields a 7.4-day discrepancy. We conclude from tide observations that much of the discrepancy can probably be accounted for by non-equilibrium pole tide behaviour in the deep oceans.  相似文献

Methodological Development of the Conditional Sampling Method. Part II: Quality Control Criteria of Relaxed Eddy Accumulation Flux Measurements   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

A.?K.?Fotiadi  F.?Lohou  A.?Druilhet  D.?Ser?aEmail author  F.?Said  P.?Laville  A.?Brut 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2005,117(3):577-603

Determination of biosphere–atmosphere exchanges requires accurate quantification of the turbulent fluxes of energy and of a wide variety of trace gases. Relaxed Eddy Accumulation (REA) is a method that has received increasing attention in recent years, because it does not require any rapid sensor for the scalar measurements as the Eddy Correlation method (EC) does. As in all micrometeorological studies, REA measurements in the atmospheric surface layer are valid under some restrictive conditions so as to be representative of a specific ecosystem. These conditions are the homogeneity of the underlying surface, stationary and horizontally homogeneous turbulence. For most experiments these conditions are not fully satisfied. Data uncertainties can also be related to not fulfilling the method principles or to the technical characteristics of the REA system itself. In order to assess REA measurement quality, a methodological approach of data analysis is developed in this study. This methodological analysis is based on the establishment of criteria for data quality control. A set of them, deduced from the mean and turbulent flow, are called ‘Dynamic criteria’ and are designated to control the stationarity and homogeneity of the w function and the validation of Taylor’s hypothesis. A second set (‘REA operational criteria’) is designed to check the sampling process and, more precisely, the homogeneity of the negative and positive selection process throughout the sampling period. A third set of criteria (‘Chemical scalar criteria’) concerns the scalar measurements. Results of the criteria application to data measured at two different experimental sites are also presented. Cut-off limits of criteria are defined based on their statistical distribution and shown to be specific for each site. Strictness of each criterion, defined by the percentage of flagged samples, is analysed in conjunction with the meteorological conditions and atmospheric stability. It is found that flagged samples mainly correspond to neutral and stable nocturnal conditions. During daytime, nearly free convection conditions can also yield poor quality data.  相似文献
