Special issue “Towards forecasting phreatic eruptions: examples from Hakone volcano and some global equivalents”

International Journal of Forecasting Special Issue on Energy Forecasting Introduction

Forecasting volcanic eruptions

Forecasting is a central goal of volcanology. Intensive monitoring of recent eruptions has generated integrated timeseries of data, which have resulted in several successful examples of warnings being issued on impending eruptions. Ability to forecast is being advanced by new technology, such as broad-band seismology, satellite observations of ground deformation and improved field spectrometers...

Some Examples of Special Lagrangian Tori

The purpose of this note is to point out some very elementary examples of special Lagrangian tori in certain Calabi-Yau manifolds that occur as hypersurfaces in complex projective space. All of these are constructed as real slices of smooth hypersurfaces defined over the reals. This method of constructing special Lagrangian submanifolds is, of course, well known. What does not appear to be in t...

Special Issue on "Estimation, Testing and Forecasting in Econometrics"

One of us (King) joined Monash University as a young lecturer in econometrics in 1979. At about that time, there was a noticeable leap in the availability of computer power that allowed us to contemplate a likelihood based approach to econometrics. For example, the Faculty of Economics and Politics had taken delivery of its own VAX11/780 mini computer which allowed serious statistical and econo...
