Sentences with phrase «uncertainties in the data prior»

In the western North Pacific, long - term trends are masked by strong inter-decadal variability for 1960 to 2004 (Chan and Liu, 2004; Chan, 2006), but results also depend on the statistics used and there are uncertainties in the data prior to the mid-1980s (Klotzbach, 2006).

The use of even more recently computer - reconstructed total solar irradiance data (whatever have large uncertainties) for the period prior to 1976 would not change any of the conclusions in my paper, where quantitative analyses were emphasized on the influences of humans and the Sun on global surface temperature after 1970 when direct measurements became available.

In physical sciences, where an OLS regression model with normally distributed errors is validly used to estimate a slope parameter between two variables with observational data, errors in the regressor variable contributing a small part of the total uncertainty, it is usual to accept the uniform prior in the slope parameter (here Y) implied by the regression modeIn physical sciences, where an OLS regression model with normally distributed errors is validly used to estimate a slope parameter between two variables with observational data, errors in the regressor variable contributing a small part of the total uncertainty, it is usual to accept the uniform prior in the slope parameter (here Y) implied by the regression modein the regressor variable contributing a small part of the total uncertainty, it is usual to accept the uniform prior in the slope parameter (here Y) implied by the regression modein the slope parameter (here Y) implied by the regression model.

Which, in its turn means that the important caveats going to uncertainty, the incompleteness of the data, the unverified nature of some of the statistical methods and the tentative nature of the models has tended to be suppressed, either directly or by way of a sense of professional prior restraint.

The bulk of the differences between the two datasets, and associated uncertainties, relate to Australian national temperatures prior to 1950, when there is no significant trend in the data.
