Error in the Sampling Area of an Optical Disdrometer: Consequences in Computing Rain Variables
The aim of this study is to improve the estimation of the characteristic uncertainties of optic disdrometers in an attempt to calculate the efficient sampling area according to the size of the drop and to study how this influences the computation of other parameters, taking into account that the real sampling area is always smaller than the nominal area. For large raindrops (a little over 6 mm)...
متن کاملEstimating exogenous variables in data with more variables than observations
Many statistical methods have been proposed to estimate causal models in classical situations with fewer variables than observations. However, modern datasets including gene expression data increase the needs of high-dimensional causal modeling in challenging situations with orders of magnitude more variables than observations. In this paper, we propose a method to find exogenous variables in a...
متن کاملPractical Issues in Estimating Achievement Gaps from Coarsened Data
Ho and Reardon (2012) present methods for estimating achievement gaps when test scores are coarsened into a small number of ordered categories, preventing fine-grained distinctions between individual scores. They demonstrate that gaps can nonetheless be estimated with minimal bias across a broad range of simulated and real coarsened data scenarios. In this paper, we extend this previous work to...
متن کاملImproving Parameterization of Rain Microphysics with Disdrometer and Radar Observations
Disdrometer observations indicate that the raindrop size distribution (DSD) can be represented by a constrained-gamma (CG) distribution model. The model is used to retrieve DSDs from polarization radar measurements of reflectivity and differential reflectivity and to characterize rain microphysics and physical processes such as evaporation, accretion, and precipitation. The CG model parameteriz...
متن کاملEstimating species richness from quadrat sampling data: a general approach.
We consider the problem of estimating the number of species (denoted by S) of a biological community located in a region divided into n quadrats. To address this question, different hierarchical parametric approaches have been recently developed. Despite a detailed modeling of the underlying biological processes, they all have some limitations. Indeed, some assume that n is theoretically infini...
