Analysis of landings and environmental variables time series from the Caspian Sea

In the present study, the time series encompassing the years 1950-2011 of commercial landings from the Caspian Sea were analyzed using min/max autocorrelation factor analysis (MAFA) and dynamic factor analysis (DFA). These aim was to identify trends and explore the relationships between the response variables (annual landings of 10 species/groups such as kilkas, kutum, common carp, pike perch, ...

Stock assessment methods used for cephalopod

Cephalopods are of increasing importance as a fishery resource and many species are taken in directed and bycatch fisheries around the world. Owing to the short life-cycles and variable growth rates of most cephalopods, stocks may be highly volatile, both highly susceptible to recruitment overfishing and, conversely, capable of rapid recovery. Many species have protracted spawning seasons so th...

The Heavy Precipitation Event of May–june 2013 in the Upper Danube and Elbe Basins

SEPTEMBER 2014 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | precipitation amount is only the 18th highest of the analogue time series, showing that even if the atmospheric conditions were favorable to wet conditions over Southern Europe, they do not fully explain the exceptional character of the precipitation anomaly. We conjecture that a potential amplifying cause could be that the oceanic air masses car...

On the Detection of Trends in Time Series of Functional Data

A sequence of functions (curves) collected over time is called a functional time series. Functional time series analysis is one of the popular research areas in which statistics from such data are frequently observed. The main purpose of the functional time series is to predict and describe random mechanisms that resulted in generating the data. To do so, it is needed to decompose functional ti...
