Event details
Sustainability Science at Southampton 'Modelling Time-Series' meeting. An informal meeting for those interested in discussing different approaches to modelling time-series - statistical, monitored, palaeo data. The meeting relates to the SSS research theme 'Complex Socio-Ecological Systems'.
Modelling Time-Series
An informal meeting for those interested in discussing different approaches to modelling time-series - statistical, monitored, palaeo data. The meeting is prompted by recent research in Geography and the Environment where we have applied different techniques to palaeoecological data in order to answer three types of questions:
- Do my data show a critical transition, threshold, tipping point, step change in other words a statistically significant (phase) shift from one state to another?
- Can my response time series (eg. vegetation change) be explained as a complex response to multiple drivers (e.g. climate and human activity)?
- Can my response time-series be used to forecast the recent future based on the structure of the existing time-series (e.g. moving average, cyclicity)?
Registration:
All staff and PGRs are welcome to contribute to discussions - expert and non-experts.
The meeting is run by Professor John Dearing (Co-Chair of SSS) and Dr James Dyke.
