A single, small, retrospective case - control study examined the use of newborn transient evoked otoacoustic emission hearing screening tests as a tool for identifying infants at subsequent risk of SIDS.343 Infants who subsequently died from SIDS did not fail their hearing tests but, compared with controls, showed a decreased signal - to - noise ratio score in the right ear only (at frequencies of 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz).

Remarkably, however, it was only within the final second that the signal reached high enough frequencies and high enough amplitudes for LIGO to detect it, above the general background noise from other non-cosmic sources.

«The EEG signal gets buried under all this noise — but our system is able to separate not only the EEG signal, but the frequency of the flickering LED within this signal.»

«Think of it as a signal - to - noise ratio — there is an inherent level of noise (technical error of measurement, day - to - day fluctuations), and only signals greater than this noise level will be apparent.»

But those loggers record only 5 minutes of sound every 15 minutes, and any signals are likely to be contaminated with noise from seismic surveys, says Duncan.

This allows the researchers to make complete measurements in a manner constrained only by the system repetition, detection rate and desired signal - to - noise ratio of the overall final measurement according to Dennett.

Their simulation showed that brain cells not only need to boost the signal, they also need to dampen the noise.

«The only source of noise is the cosmic microwave background,» says Tarter, referring to remnant radiation from the big bang, whose signal has been well studied.

Science, while it can only ever deliver probabilistic and partial answers, helps us find the signals amid the noise: to reduce the uncertainties of a world continually reshaped by nature and technology.

But LIGO saw only just over one cycle of the Event's ringdown waves before the signal became buried once more in the background noise — not yet enough data to provide a rigorous test of Vishveshwara's predictions.

Instead, they weed out all the data that doesn't meet a certain signal - to - noise ratio automatically, leaving them with only the best candidates.

In comparisons, these preprocessing methods are often assessed with only a single metric of rs - fMRI data quality, such as reliability, without considering other aspects in tandem, such as signal - to - noise ratio and group discriminability.

attempt to maximise the signal and minimise the noise; do not try to disentangle signal from noise, but supply impact assessments with climate scenarios containing both elements and also companion descriptions of future climate that contain only noise, thus allowing impact assessors to generate their own impact signal - to - noise ratios (Hulme et al., 1999a).

Sure it's only 12 years but as pointed out above, it's got a low noise to signal ratio.

You will still SEE an increase in temperatures, but because of the poor localisation the variability is much higher and the effect of small - scale (compared to global) forcings that affect only the region you have measurements for mean that to get the signal from the noise requires more time.

A tropical SST link would explain why the signal is strongest with a 10 to 20 year lag of the long - term changes (Waple et al, 2001), but the noise in the NAO record could mean that you only see significant changes after long term averaging.

While statistical studies on extremes are plagued by signal - to - noise issues and only give unequivocal results in a few cases with good data (like for temperature extremes), we have another, more useful source of information: physics.

Now if we can only use a reverse Forier Transform analysis to try to extract the signals from the noise like we did in cryptology...

It is true that there has been no «statistically significant» warming in the last 16 (or 15 years) only because when you deal with such short data sets the signal to noise ratio decreases, meaning that the 95 % confidence level also increases.

However, you neglected to do any data analysis, claiming that «eyeballing is very useful when the signal overwhelms the noise since the noise is only monthly and yearly but there is not much noise decadely, which there isnt.»

Because one is looking for a certain, elusive «signal» from the noise, that's the only way to find the data.

As just some guy, I believe that I can remove the noise from a signal up to one third of the length of the trend by smoothing to the mean, and only improve the clarity of the signal.

You've looked at many more of the emails than I have, which is the only way to form a view on the distribution as well as ratio of signal / noise.

Under the MBH98 transformation, the median fraction of explained variance from PC1 was 13 % (99th percentile — 23 %), often making the PC1 appear to be a «dominant» signal, even though the network is only noise.

Furthermore, each AOGCM simulation includes not only the response (i.e., the signal) to a specified forcing, but also an unpredictable component (i.e., the noise) that is due to internal climate variability.

There is always a point at which, as long as one only considers sufficiently short timeframes, a long - term signal will be smaller than the noise in the system, which appears to be Curry's argument here.

The only logical sense in which there might be an «advantage» — and it is illusory — is in the retaining of samples that you PRESUME to be signal - rich (based on correlation) and dismissing of samples you PRESUME to be noise - rich.

It requires a much stronger CO2 signal to be statistically certain at 17 years, and perhaps that is what he had in mind, but 0.2 C per decade isn't going to show up well in 17 years, being only a standard deviation or two larger than the noise, which may offset it in some decades.

That said, attempts to «fix» like maybe using the pre-bridge years for validation only, might be a method of getting the most signal from noise.

Of course this is perfectly arguable — the only thing is that it is much less comfortable than the case when the signal clearly emerges (at a several, say 5 sigma level) from a unknown noise, because in this case you don't have really to justify that you understand very well the noise — actually you don't care at all about it.

If we detrend HadCRUT, analogous to removing the DC leaving only the power supply ripple, and subtract this (ENSO, PDO, AMO, SSN, Pinatubo, etc) «hum» from the signal + noise of UAH temperature measurements, we can also improve our Signal to Noise signal + noise of UAH temperature measurements, we can also improve our Signal to Noise Rnoise of UAH temperature measurements, we can also improve our Signal to Noise Signal to Noise RNoise Ratio.

The trick is that past data aren't considered as «noise», or only in limited amount, but rather as a significant «signal» that can be substracted from the observed data to get a significant trend.

do not try to disentangle signal from noise, but supply impact assessments with climate scenarios containing both elements and also companion descriptions of future climate that contain only noise, thus allowing impact assessors to generate their own impact signal - to - noise ratios (Hulme et al., 1999a).

A very good read - it's nice to see someone actually taking the time to try to understand not only the uncertainties, but the detection of signal over noise and it's attribution to cause, something that's been a permanent bug - bear of mine since reading the report.

The space - time structure of natural climate variability needed to determine the optimal fingerprint pattern and the resultant signal - to - noise ratio of the detection variable is estimated from several multi-century control simulations with different CGCMs and from instrumental data over the last 136 y. Applying the combined greenhouse gas - plus - aerosol fingerprint in the same way as the greenhouse gas only fingerprint in a previous work, the recent 30 - y trends (1966 — 1995) of annual mean near surface temperature are again found to represent a significant climate change at the 97.5 % confidence level.

This, too, is a function of the relatively rigid or narrow epistemology that law has; when signals can only be received in a narrow band of frequencies (to switch metaphors as well) an increase in the rate of signals leads ultimately to noise.
