Forecasting Extinctions: Uncertainties and Limitations
Extinction forecasting is one of the most important and challenging areas of conservation biology. Overestimates of extinction rates or the extinction risk of a particular species instigate accusations of hype and overblown conservation rhetoric. Conversely, underestimates may result in limited resources being allocated to other species/habitats perceived as being at greater risk. In this paper...
متن کاملLimitations on intermittent forecasting
Bailey showed that the general pointwise forecasting for stationary and ergodic time series has a negative solution. However, it is known that for Markov chains the problem can be solved. Morvai showed that there is a stopping time sequence {λ n } such that P (X λn+1 =) such that the difference between the conditional probability and the estimate vanishes along these stoppping times for all sta...
متن کاملEffect of Uncertainties on Demand Forecasting
The electricity planning department of eThekwini Municipality performs a power system load forecast based on individual substation forecasts. The individual substation forecasts have uncertainty. It is desired to understand the effect of these uncertainties on the accuracy of the total system forecast. A Monte Carlo simulation of the forecasted system loadflow was performed. By means of this ap...
متن کاملDengue Disease Modelling and Forecasting: Utility and Limitations.
In a joint statement issued earlier this year, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and Ministry of Health (MOH) announced that dengue cases this year would be expected to exceed 30,000—higher than the record of 22,170 experienced in the 2013 dengue epidemic.1 This forecast was based on retrospective data analyses collected within the past 10 years on Aedes mosquito surveillance, serotype surv...
متن کاملLimitations of rupture forecasting exposed by instantaneously triggered earthquake doublet
Earthquake hazard assessments and rupture forecasts are based on the potential length of seismic rupture and whether or not slip is arrested at fault segment boundaries. Such forecasts do not generally consider that one earthquake can trigger a second large event, near-instantaneously, at distances greater than a few kilometres. Here we present a geodetic and seismological analysis of a magnitu...
