  1. The Cumulative Frequency Diagram (CFD)as a Criteria Assessment Tool Chlorophyll Criteria Workshop 05/19/05 Elgin Perry

  2. “CRITERIA ASSESSMENT USING LIMITED DATA” “10% RULE”

  3. Motivation for New Assessment tool • Accommodate temporal and spatial variance in addition to sampling variance • Allow spatially broad but ephemeral events. • Allow spatially small but persistent events.

  4. Overview of CFD Assessment Process • Determine a Compliance criteria, C (C may be a collection of points) • Collect samples over segment for m dates in 3 year period. • For each date interpolate (Krig) to n cells over segment.

  5. Overview of CFD Assessment Process • For each date estimate proportion of segment that does not comply with C.

  6. Overview of CFD Assessment Process • Estimate Cumulative Frequency Distribution (CFD) of Area out of compliance for all dates. • Inverse of the Empirical Distribution Function of the psj. Plot step ptj versus psj.

  7. CFD assessment of impairment

  15. Wrinkles • How to define the reference curve. • The shape of the CFD is influenced by level of sampling.

  16. Simulation • Assume segment has 1000 cells. • Simulate values for the 1000 cells each day for 3 years. • Sample 10 cells once a month. • Interpolate from the 10 to the 1000. • Compare the CFD from sampling to the true CFD.

  17. Wrinkles • How to define the reference curve. • The shape of the CFD is influenced by level of sampling. • A confidence envelope for the CFD is proving analytically complex.
