Simpler models … alternate interval

continued from last post.

The last set of cross-validation results are based on training of held-out data for intervals outside of 0.6-0.8 (i.e. training on t<0.6 and t>0.8 of the data, which extends from t=0.0 to t=1.0 normalized). This post considers training on intervals outside of 0.3-0.6 — a narrower training interval and correspondingly wider test interval.

Stockholm, Sweden
Korsor, Denmark
Klaipeda, Lithuania
Hornbaek, Denmark
Warnemunde, Germany
Gedser, Denmark
Trois-Rivieres, Quebec
Travemunde, Germany
Manila, Philippines
Helsinki, Finland
San Diego, California
Galveston, Texas
Mantyluoto, Finland
Vancouver, BC — (lower DOF, biennial)
Smogen, Sweden
Furuogrund, Sweden
Vlissingen, Netherlands
Visby, Sweden
Aberdeen, Scotland
Ketchikan, Alaska
Hoek Van Holland, Netherlands
Charleston, South Carolina
West-Terschelling, Netherlands
Den Helder, Netherlands
Los Angeles, California
Delfzijl, Netherlands
La Jolla, California
Harlingen, Netherlands
Astoria, Washington — (lower DOF, biennial)
Kaskinen, Finland
Ijmuiden, Netherlands
Mumbai, India
Genova, Italy — many missing values
Oslo, Norway
Landsort, Sweden
Olands, Sweden
Kungsholmsfort, Sweden
Aarhus, Denmark
Brest, France – from 1880 only
Sydney (Ft Denison composite), Australia
Pensacola, Florida

These are largely substantiating results, with some becoming more prone to over-fitting. If the results showed indications of over-fitting, the biennial limit was set to true, as shown in the title bar of the top graph.


Climate indices

Same change in training interval, automatically applying a fitted trend. The CV results arguably appear even more impressive

NAO index — filtered with a 12-month boxcar
NINO34 index
NINO4 index
AMO index
IOD index
IOD West index
IOD East index
TNA index
TSA index
QBO 30 index
SOI (Darwin) index
EMI index
IC3TSFC index — a re-analysis product which includes the annual & sub-annual signal
M6 index — Atlantic “El Nino”
M4 index — N. Pacific Gyre Oscillation
PDO index
NINO3 index
NINO12 index

The change in training interval is not totally orthogonal, as they do share fractions <0.3 and >0.8 yet there is no indication of non-stationarity in the underlying behavior.

The overall cross-validation is rigorous as it spans dimensions of (1) training intervals, (2) geospatial domains, and (3) measurement domains — as the domains of climate indices (temperature, atmospheric pressure, etc) are distinct from SLH readings, indicating a lunar torque-based unified model of Earth dynamics. The addition of local SLH readings, which was only treated in a conventional sense in Mathematical Geoenergy, provides a striking dose of pragmatism to the unified model. It’s truly pragmatic in the sense that it’s hard to argue against lunar tidal forces as a factor in SLH, especially considering how long the non-linear formulation has been overlooked.
