Such shift estimates are considerably more effective when there is a time period available where both chemical methods are used or when both laboratories conduct the analysis. If there are no such overlapping time periods the estimate’s variance will be big and, if there additionally is a trend in the series, can also be strongly biased. A reliable statistical analysis of trend in such series is then hardly possible. https://internt.slu.se/en/news-originals/2018/9/identification-of-potential-level-shifts-in-environmental-time-series/ 365948 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 12:40:20 +0200 The group meetings are organized every week on Wednesday afternoon, usually at 13.15 in the small Vegetum seminar room by the southern kitchen. https://internt.slu.se/en/news-originals/2018/9/r-help-group-sessions-alnarp/ 365707 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 16:19:56 +0200 R-programming consultations will be held in Umeå, Room C 350, 14-16 hrs on the following dates 31.08, 14.09, 21.09, 05.10, 19.10, 02.11, 16.11, 30.11, 07.12.2018 https://internt.slu.se/en/news-originals/2018/9/drop-in-consultation-in-r-umea/ 365624 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 16:19:41 +0200 The updated folder About SLU/Om SLU briefly presents SLU on six pages.
