Analysis of Sapflow Measurements of Larch Trees in Alpine Dry Inn-Valley

This PhD study conducted by Marco Leo in 2010/11 provides an overview of sapflow measurements in Larch trees within the inner alpine dry Inn-Valley. It covers the background, principles of sapflow measurements, collection of environmental data, and statistical analysis of time series data.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Analysis of sapflow measurements of Larch trees within the inner alpine dry Inn-valley PhD student: Marco Leo Advanced Statistics WS 2010/11

  2. Overview • Background • Principleofsapflowmeasurements • Collectionof environmental data • Statistical analysisof time seriesdata • Descriptivestatistics • Multiple linear regression • Autocorrelation

  3. Principle of sapflow measurements • Two sensors installed into the sapwood • The top sensor is heated • Temperature difference between the sensors • Calculation of the sapflow density [ml cm2 min] • Relative sapflow for data interpretation ! • Dependent variable

  4. Dependence of environmental parameters • Collected environmental data: (independent variables)

  5. Typical sesonal course of sapflow density

  6. Box plots I

  7. Box plots II

  8. Scatter plots

  9. Multiple linear regression (model VPD2)

  10. y vs. fitted and residuals vs. time

  11. What is Autocorrelation ? Autocorrelation is the correlation of a signal with itself (Parr 1999). part of the data:

  12. Testing Autocorrelation Durbin Watson Test H0 : α = 0 → No Autocorrelation H1 : α ≠ 0 → Autocorrelation durbinWatsonTest(model_LA_2) lag Autocorrelation D-W Statistic p-value 1 0.5097381 0.9703643 0 Alternative hypothesis: rho != 0

  13. Determine the strength of the Autocorrelation • Autocorrelation Function (ACF) • Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF) Yt = α Yt-1 + εt

  14. Time series model - ARIMA • Elimination of the Autocorrelation • Results: • Summary • Table with coefficients and standard errors

  15. Residual plots

  16. ACF and Partial ACF

  17. Multicollinearity • Variance Inflation Factors (vif) • tolerance = 1/vif

  18. Differential effect of the independent variables bj…regression coefficient Sxj…standard deviation of xj Sy…standard deviation of y

  19. Optimal VPD for sapflow

  20. Helpful R commands/featuresforusing time seriesdata: • Arima model: the output differs from a lm model • Residual diagnostic • plot(model_LA_2$resid,xlab="day of year",main="VPD2 model“) • Create lines to get an overview of diagnostic plots • abline(h=0,col="red") • abline(0,1,col="red")

  21. Thank you for your attention !
