estimating the distribution of snow melt equivalent at the peak of snow accumulation, through degree – day model
estimating snow melt water equivalent is one of the most important challenges in determining the hydrological regime in mountainous basins. there are some problematic obstacles in field observations, due to inaccessibility as well due to difficulties in snow sampling at snow covered peaks making researchers try to find indirect approaches. one of these methods in use is degree- day model that i...
متن کاملRadar measurements of snow: experiment and analysis
This paper considers two specific types of experiments conducted to improve our understanding of radar backscatter from snow-covered ground surfaces. The first experiment involves radar backscatter measurements at Cand X-band of artificial snow of varying depths. The relatively simple target characteristics, combined with an exhaustive ground truth effort, make the results of this experiment es...
متن کاملErasing errors due to alignment ambiguity when estimating positive selection.
Current estimates of diversifying positive selection rely on first having an accurate multiple sequence alignment. Simulation studies have shown that under biologically plausible conditions, relying on a single estimate of the alignment from commonly used alignment software can lead to unacceptably high false-positive rates in detecting diversifying positive selection. We present a novel statis...
متن کاملEstimating the width of a uniform distribution when data are measured with additive normal errors with known variance
The problem of estimating the width of the symmetric uniform distribution on the line when data are measured with normal additive error is considered. The main purpose is to discuss the efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimator and the moment method estimator. It is shown that the model is regular and that the maximum likelihood estimator is more efficient than the moment method estimator....
متن کاملDeath Distribution Methods for Estimating Adult Mortality: Sensitivity Analysis with Simulated Data Errors, Revisited
Hill and Choi attempted to test how well the variable-r techniques for estimating adult mortality (Generalised Growth Balance and the Synthetic Extinct Generations methods) perform in the context where data deficiencies violate the assumptions underlying the models. From this work they concluded that each method had strengths and weaknesses and that superior estimates could be derived using a c...
