2.00pm Richard Chandler (UCL)
The use of Generalised Linear Models in interpreting climate variability
========================================================================
Abstract:
Analysts of climate data are often interested in quantifying the
nature and extent of any changes which may be taking place. Equally
important is the ability to assess honestly our uncertainty
regarding such changes. Generalised Linear Models potentially
provide an extremely powerful framework within which
to study these problems. This talk will focus on some of the issues
which arise when trying to make sense of historical climate records,
and will discuss ways in which these may be addressed
within the GLM framework. Examples from case studies will be used
to illustrate the ideas.
3.00pm Claudia Klueppelberg (Munich University of Technology)
