Elimination of a priori
نویسندگان
چکیده
Profiles of atmospheric state parameters retrieved from remote measurements often contain a priori information which causes complication in the use of data for validation, comparison with models, or data assimilation. For such applications it often is desirable to remove the a priori information from the data product. If the retrieval involves 5 an ill-posed inversion problem, formal removal of the a priori information requires re-sampling of the data on a coarser grid, which, however, is a prior constraint in itself. The fact that the trace of the averaging kernel matrix of a retrieval is equivalent to the number of degrees of freedom of the retrieval is used to define an appropriate information-centered representation of the data where each data point represents one 10 degree of freedom. Since regridding implies further degradation of the data and thus causes additional loss of information, a re-regularization scheme has been developed which allows resampling without additional loss of information. For a typical ClONO 2 profile retrieved from spectra as measured by the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS), the constrained retrieval has 9.7 degrees of freedom. 15 After application of the proposed transformation to a coarser information-centered altitude grid, there are exactly 9 degrees of freedom left, and the averaging kernel on the coarse grid is unity. Pure resampling on the information-centered grid without re-regularization would reduce the degrees of freedom to 7.1.

Highly skewed a priori probabilities present challenges for researchers developing medical decision aids due to a lack of information on the rare outcome of interest. This paper attempts to overcome this obstacle by artificially increasing the mortality rate of the training sets.

متن کاملOptimal order finite element approximation for a hyperbolic integro-differential equation
Semidiscrete finite element approximation of a hyperbolic type integro-differential equation is studied. The model problem is treated as the wave equation which is perturbed with a memory term. Stability estimates are obtained for a slightly more general problem. These, based on energy method, are used to prove optimal order a priori error estimates.
متن کاملA Scalable Sparse Direct Solver Using Static Pivoting
We propose several techniques as alternatives to partial pivoting to stabilize sparse Gaussian elimination. From numerical experiments we demonstrate that for a wide range of problems the new method is as stable as partial pivoting. The main advantage of the new method over partial pivoting is that it permits a priori determination of data structures and communication pattern, which makes it mo...
