Bias correction and bootstrap methods for a spatial sampling scheme
Motivated by sampling problems in forestry and related fields, we suggest a spatial sampling scheme for estimating the intensity of a point process. The technique is related to the ‘wandering quarter’ method. In applications where the cost of identifying random points is high relative to the cost of taking measurements, for example when identification involves travelling within a large region, ...
متن کاملA Simple Bias Correction Algorithm for use in Data Assimiliation
This report examines the e ect of model bias within a data assimilation sys tem For this study we use the Goddard Earth Observing System GEOS Data Assimilation System DAS which employs the Incremental Analysis Updating IAU procedure In such a procedure the after analysis minus rst guess in crements are used as external forcing within a general circulation model GCM to provide corrective adjustm...
متن کاملA comparative study of quantitative mapping methods for bias correction of ERA5 reanalysis precipitation data
This study evaluates the ability of different quantitative mapping (QM) methods as a bias correction technique for ERA5 reanalysis precipitation data. Climate type and geographical location can affect the performance of the bias correction method due to differences in precipitation characteristics. For this purpose, ERA5 reanalysis precipitation data for the years 1989-2019 for 10 selected syno...
متن کاملSampling Variation, Monotone Instrumental Variables and the Bootstrap Bias Correction
This paper discusses the finite sample bias of analogue bounds under the monotone instrumental variables assumption. By analyzing the bias function, we first propose a conservative estimator which is biased downwards (upwards) when the analogue estimator is biased upwards (downwards). Using the bias function, we then show the mechanism of the parametric bootstrap correction procedure, which can...
متن کاملHistory in a Crisis — Lessons for Covid-19
Writing in the heady days of new antibiotics and immunizations, esteemed microbiologists Macfarlane Burnet and David White predicted in 1972 that “the most likely forecast about the future of infectious diseases is that it will be very dull.” When asked to explain past events, historians are quick to assert the importance of context. If you want to understand how or why something happened, you ...
