Using a Bayesian hierarchical model to improve Lake Erie cyanobacteria bloom forecasts
The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the size of western Lake Erie cyanobacteria blooms, renewing concerns over phosphorus loading, a common driver of freshwater productivity. However, there is considerable uncertainty in the phosphorus load-bloom relationship, because of other biophysical factors that influence bloom size, and because the observed bloom size is not necessarily the t...
متن کاملHierarchical Wavelet Modelling of Environmental Sensor Data
Motivated by the need to smooth and to summarize multiple simultaneous time series arising from networks of environmental monitors, we propose a hierarchical wavelet model for which estimation of hyperparameters can be performed by marginal maximum likelihood. The result is an empirical Bayes thresholding procedure whose results improve on those of wavethresh in terms of mean square error. We a...
متن کاملEvaluation and management of the impact of land use change on the nitrogen and phosphorus load delivered to surface waters: the export coefficient modelling approach
A manageable, relatively inexpensive model was constructed to predict the loss of nitrogen and phosphorus from a complex catchment to its drainage system. The model used an export coefficient approach, calculating the total nitrogen (N) and total phosphorus (P) load delivered annually to a water body as the sum of the individual loads exported from each nutrient source in its catchment. The exp...
متن کاملPrinciples of multilevel modelling.
BACKGROUND Multilevel modelling, also known as hierarchical regression, generalizes ordinary regression modelling to distinguish multiple levels of information in a model. Use of multiple levels gives rise to an enormous range of statistical benefits. To aid in understanding these benefits, this article provides an elementary introduction to the conceptual basis for multilevel modelling, beginn...
متن کاملContinuous Bayesian network for studying the causal links between phosphorus loading and plankton patterns in Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada.
An ecosystem perspective to restoring beneficial uses in Areas of Concern can be interpreted as a shift from the traditional elucidation of simple cause-effect relationships to a multicausal way of thinking that more effectively accommodates ecosystem complexity. This holistic management paradigm has also pervaded the contemporary ecological modeling practice, making compelling the adoption of ...
