VLab Forum Members,
A quick reminder that the second
Roebber Lecture Series presentation will occur on Tuesday, February
15th at 11:00am – 12:00pm (Eastern Time). The presentation features
a talk by Dr. Paul Roebber titled "A Hierarchy of Techniques
for Leveraging Data". We hope you can attend.
To participate in the lecture,
please register
for the webinar.
Abstract:
The National Weather Service (NWS)
has a long history of leveraging available data in support of
weather forecasting efforts. These efforts are ongoing and with the
advent of more advanced techniques (e.g., machine learning), the NWS
is in the process of determining where and how to apply them. This
series of four lectures is designed to provide some background on
these techniques. No assumptions will be made regarding the
statistical background of participants. The second lecture in this
series will cover several basic techniques for diagnosis and
prediction: (1) linear regression; (2) logistic regression; (3)
extension of linear and logistic regression to multiple variables.
Additionally, we will discuss how to interpret the output from these techniques.
