Reliability of Inference of Directed Climate Networks Using Conditional Mutual Information
2013
Entropy
For geophysical systems such as global climate, these relations are commonly not theoretically known but estimated from recorded data using causality analysis methods. ...
Such dynamical complex systems can be represented by a directed graph, where each link denotes an existence of a causal relation, or information exchange between the nodes. ...

Granular computing, computational intelligence, and the analysis of non-geometric input spaces
2015
Granular Computing
As a conclusion, we elaborate over the fundamental, conceptual problems underlying the process of data granulation, which drive the quest for a sound theory of granular computing. ...
Data granulation emerged as an important paradigm in modeling and computing with uncertainty, exploiting information granules as the main mathematical constructs involved in the context of granular computing ...
We highlight two specific aspects in this paper: the (novel) interpretation of information granules as patterns (Sect. 3.1) and the challenge of designing a criterion for synthesizing information granules ...

How complex climate networks complement eigen techniques for the statistical analysis of climatological data
2015
Climate Dynamics
This climate network (CN) analysis is usually based on the same set of similarity matrices as is used in classical EOF or CP analysis, e.g., the correlation matrix of a single climatological field or the ...
Hence, CNs are a valuable supplement to the statistical toolbox of the climatologist, particularly for making sense out of very large data sets such as those generated by satellite observations and climate ...
For climate network analysis, the software package pyunicorn was used that is available at http://tocsy.pik-potsdam.de/pyunicorn.php . We thank Reik V. ...

Causality in Reversed Time Series: Reversed or Conserved?
2021
Entropy
We start with a theoretical analysis that demonstrates that a perfect coupling reversal under time reversal occurs only under very specific conditions, followed up by constructing low-dimensional examples ...
Finally, simulations of random as well as realistically motivated network coupling patterns from brain and climate show that level of coupling reversal and conservation can be well predicted by asymmetry ...

Conceptual Models as Hypotheses in Monitoring Urban Landscapes
2007
Environmental Management
Academics generally prefer a bottomup approach to model construction that emphasizes ecologic theory and process, whereas managers often use a top-down approach that takes advantage of existing information ...
An example application of the process to a network of national parks in and around Washington, DC illustrates the ability of the approach to systematically identify monitoring data that would both advance ...
