Sentences with phrase «tree ring networks»

They assumed a minimum correlation of 0.3, whereas sites in the 15th century MBH98 tree ring network has an average correlation to gridcell temperature of -0.08 (with relative strong average correlation to precipitation.)

(Note that empirical AR1 coefficients place less structure on the autocorrelation than the hosking.sim simulations used with the NOAMER tree ring network in our 2005 simulations and simplify this aspect of this analysis.)

In fact, the Corrigendum did not even mention the use of «stepwise» principal components calculation of tree ring network principal components, a matter which was not mentioned in MBH98 and which later formed much of the content of the new SI.

MAnnian principal components on the North American tree ring network; then Partial Least Squares regression of NH temperature against the PC1 and other proxies; then re-scaling done a smidge differently.

In retrospect, I would have placed additional weight on questions and issues arising on application of principal components (of any type, not just Mannian incorrect principal components) to tree ring networks.

In response to MM2003, Mann et al argued that the HS shape of the North American PC1 represented the «dominant component of variance» or «leading component of variance» in the North American tree ring network and that the emulation in MM2003 had omitted this «dominant» component of variance.

In their reply, Mann et al asserted that application of the same selection / retention criteria as MBH98 in M&M's particular conventional PCA implementation would result in retention of 5 PCs for the North American 1400 tree ring network, resulting in much the same «hockey stick» reconstruction.

We have done new simulations, applying the MBH98 PC methodology to trendless red noise modeled to exhibit the persistence of the North American tree ring network.
