Ecological Indicators: Software Development Sergei Rodionov Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington
Outline • Part I. Red noise problem. Upgrade to the regime shift detection method (STARS). • Part II. Knowledge management system for the Bering Sea.
Entry Form for STARS www.BeringClimate.noaa.gov
Part II. Dealing with Information Overload • Dimensionality reduction (e.g., principal component analysis, singular value decomposition, multidimensional scaling) • Knowledge management system
Components of the KMS • Data Explorer • Rule Explorer • Inference Engine • Graphical Interface • Search Facility • Reporting Facility
List of rules (partial) with the IF variables that affect walleye pollock recruitment
Part of the influence diagram for walleye pollock recruitment
Example of a rule IF ENSO event = El Niño, AND Aleutian low circulation type = W1, THEN SAT at St. Paul = above normal; CF = 10.
Running the project to find the value of the target variable
Confidence Factors CF = (P(C | e) − P(¬C | e)) * 100%, CF = Degree of Belief – Degree of Disbelief CFcomb = CFold + CFnew − (CFold * CFnew)/100.
