Notes

  • RNeXML merge travis integration with support for rrdf. See pull #57
  • Reply to Perry re nonparametric approaches
  • 10am Andrew Skype meeting re: his manuscript
  • rOpenSci discussion re: other services, formats.
  • Reading Caldwell et al, Geophysical Letters. Good example of naiive data mining leading to spurious correlations from non-independent models. (/ht @FreshwaterEcology
  • Looking over NSF’s Data Infrastructure Building Blocks, DIBB call and previously funded work.
  • Remote control for Ubuntu via android? Considering:
  • xbmc with xbmc-remote: Looks promising if a bit heavy; connection unsuccessful.
  • WiFi Mouse successful connection via autoconnect and thethered wireless, works pretty smothly with limited setup. Does need root running mouseserver, installed from an open source .deb file.
  • 2pm rOpenSci conference call
  • Calculations, see below

Bayesian Early Warning

Continuing calculation from 2013/12/10, which integrates out \(\theta\). Next steps:

  • Integrate out \(\sigma\)
  • Grid-search \(\alpha\)
  • Implement numerically
  • Implement approach for time-heterogeneous case.

Simplifying and combing terms from where we left off: the integral of some Gaussian of variance \(\nu\) evaluates to \(\sqrt{2\pi \nu}\) which we solved for previously, giving us:

\[f(A_t) \left( 2 \pi V_t \right)^{-(T-1)/2} \left( 2 \pi V_t \right)^{1/2} \left(B^2(T-1) \right)^{-1/2}\]

\[ = f(A_t) \left( 2 \pi V_t \right)^{-(T-2)/2} \left(B^2(T-1) \right)^{-1/2}\]

Substituting in for \(V\) to have explicitly in terms of sigma, (note: Correcting the \(f(A_t)\) term, which was missing the denominator in the earlier version of 2013/12/10, now fixed).

\[ = \exp\left(\frac{}{}\right) \sigma^{-(T-2)} \left( \frac{\pi}{\alpha}\left(1- e^{-\alpha t}\right) \right)^{-(T-2)/2} \left(B^2(T-1) \right)^{-1/2}\]

and is then is integrable in terms of \(\sigma\) by recognizing this as a Gamma integral,

\[ = f(A_t) \sigma^{-(T-2)} \left( \frac{\pi}{\alpha}\left(1- e^{-\alpha t}\right) \right)^{-(T-2)/2} \left(B^2(T-1) \right)^{-1/2}\]
