ABSTRACT The complexity inherent in climate data makes it necessary to introduce more than one statistical tool to the researcher to gain insight into the climate system. Empirical orthogonal function ...

Orthogonal moments have emerged as robust mathematical descriptors in image analysis and pattern recognition, offering a compact and invariant representation of image features. By decomposing ...

The method of empirical orthogonal function analysis is applied to wind stress vectors over the tropical Pacific Ocean from 1961 through 1978. It is determined that this vector analysis enables a more ...

Simply put, orthogonal validation uses additional methods that provide very different selectivity to the primary method to confirm or refute a finding. All methods are independent approaches that ...
