predictands

The major weakness of statistical downscaling is the assumption that observed links between large-scale predictors and local predictands will persist in a changed climate.

Statistical downscaling approach and downscaling of AOGCM climate change projections 2009

Successful statistical downscaling depends on long, reliable observational series of predictors and predictands.

Depending on predictands, additional predictors included air temperature at 2 m height, humidity, and precipitation.

Successful statistical downscaling is thus dependent on long reliable series of predictors and predictands.

Instead, the best common choice of values for the small number of Neofs predictands is determined from the mutual information present in the multiproxy network during any given year.

This contrasts with direct regression methods, where the estimated temperature fields are the predictands of a regression equation.

It begins by a consideration of OLS as applied to short calibration periods where the practitioner has large matrices of both predictors and predictands.

For example, 100110 refers to an inverse regression with rescaling, trend, and spatially explicit predictands, and without using PCR; this is the variant used by MBH98, and we denote it by MBH.

In Cook et al 1994, the predictors X are data sets of tree ring width measurements “tree ring networks” while the predictands Y are climate gridcell series.
