  1. Critical Transitions Midterm Report Keith Heyde

  2. Diks et al. 2012

  3. What Are Critical Transitions?

  4. Early Warning Signs • Critical Slowing • Asymmetry of Fluctuation • Flickering (with stochastic magnitude)

  5. Predicting Critical Transitions: Case Study Lake Eutrophication Wang et al. 2012

  6. Critical Slowing Slow Perturbation Recovery Increased autocorrelation Increased Variance - The focus of my analysis thus far has been identifying critical slowing in certain metrics

  7. Previous Successful (Published) Examples Stock Market (mixed results) Climate – Flickering and critical slowing at Younger Dryas Cold Period Ecosystems- Vegetation and Desertification Agri/Aquaculture- Fishing stocks Neurological- Epilepsy/ Depression Leemput et al. 2013

  8. Methods Pursued

  9. Examples Pursued • Splitting States • Nationalization/Privatization of Industry - Mining in Chile - Oil Reserves in Latin America (country by country) • Venture capital Investment patterns by industry In all cases data was taken from The Economist (in turn taken from primary sources)

  10. Moving forward: Predicting Antibiotic Resistance • Normal (mutation) Death Response • Altruistic Death Response Yurtsev et al.

  11. Moving Forward Cont.. • Parameters: public good production (B2) • Multiple equilibria (including zero) • Sample data processing within MATLAB (autocorrelation and variance analysis) Tanouchi et al. 2012

  12. Have a Great Day! And thanks to Prof. Ross for all the help!
