Canonical Correlation Analysis for Ingrid
CCA is a commonly used tool in climate sciences to measure the linear relationship between two multidimensional variables. It also allows model building for forecasting. Here are presented three case studies illustrating how CCA analysis as well as model building and forecasting can be performed in Ingrid, prior to the set up of an Ingrid CCA function of its own. more

Use of a regularized EM algorithm to fill very gappy Malaria data
Previous gap-filling techniques were not very satisfying in order to produce a synthetized analysis of the available dataset, whether because the dataset had to be split, or the choice of some time series to be discarded didn't seem fair, or because more than half of them had to be discarded. Here, a regularized EM algorithm is applied, discarding just a few time series, and filling all the remaining gaps. This page shows the results of such analysis with the default values provided. more

Issues in analyzing gappy Malaria data
The previous cluster analysis on Sri Lanka malaria data has shown how cautious one should be when studying gappy data. Applying some selections and other filters on the data, as well as gaps filling techniques proved to impact the results of the final cluster analysis. This section highlights the difficulties encountered when selecting data, reconstructing signals and filling gaps. It asks the questions to be investigated to ensure a safe analysis. more

Cluster analysis of malaria data in Sri Lanka, from 1972 to 2003
A cluster analysis on the total number of malaria cases reported may help detect structures in the spatial and time variability of the
cases. It is a first step to try to relate the disease variability to known or yet to be known other climate phenomenons variability. more

Climate
Well... how should I phrase this? The climate... it is the core of our studies, you know. |
