RESTORE/TCEQswqmisESTUSAL, Source code for manipulation of data stemming from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Surface Water Quality Monitoring Program with emphasis on salinity change statistics for Texas coastal segments
The RESTORE/TCEQswqmisESTUSAL repository contains R language source code that can be used for digesting data retrieved from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Surface Water Quality Monitoring Program through their Surface Water Quality Data Viewer. The workflow described concerns data manipulations, base data filtering, and computations towards documenting long-term salinity...
RESTORE/makESTUSAL, Source code for construction of various statistical models and prediction of daily salinity in coastal regions of the Gulf of Mexico, United States
The RESTORE/makESTUSAL software repository contains R language source code that can be used for the construction of various statistical models and output time series of predicted daily salinity coastal regions of the Gulf of Mexico, United States. The source code is expansive, and the repository is organizationally deep following logical organization units. One major subsystem of the...
Simulation and comparison of five estimators of variability in units of standard deviation for small samples drawn from normally distributed data
It is convenient to measure or estimate variation in samples or distributions in units of standard deviations. There are alternative methods of estimation of standard deviation aside from the conventional and well-known definition. Estimation of standard deviation for very small samples (as small as two), whereas not always ideal, might be useful in certain practical circumstances. A...
Study of L-kurtosis and several distribution families for prediction of uncertainty distributions, An applied software technical note concerning L-kurtosis use in daily salinity prediction from multiple machine learning methods
Statistical predictions that are based on multiple machine learning (MML) methods (from including differing training regimes) produce differing predictions. When the predictions are combined to a final estimate, then there are residuals of the predictions spread around the final estimate. It is common to assume normality or near-normality of the residuals (errors), but the assumption of...
