Opinions expressed on Climate Audit, other than those expressed by Stephen McIntyre personally, are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Climate Audit or myself.
One of the common operations in the types of analyses done here is simply counting things. I am constantly amazed by the tremendous productivity of the tapply function in R – I use it over and over – for producing interesting results at warp speed. There’s nothing particularly novel in how I use it, but […]
Here’s a post which I wrote last June but didn’t post up at the time because the NAS Panel report came out and I had other pressing matters to comment on. My post as then drafted started: Last week, through Chefen, Jean S and myself, here here here and here , we showed that MBH98 […]

There is some question about undercounts prior to 1944 but I ignored that […]

Petersen, On the Role of Global Warming on the Statistics of Record-Breaking Temperatures, scheduled for publication in Phys Rev Letters E, presently online here with abstract: We theoretically study long-term trends in the statistics of record-breaking daily temperatures and […]

Al Gore’s hockey stick is from Lonnie Thompson’s ice cores. [Update: subsequent to this, we discovered that Al Gore’s hockey stick is not “DR Thompson’s thermometer” but Mann’s hockey stick wearing a wig.] On previous occasions, we’ve talked about the Guliya ice core -Thompson’s failure to archive data; the use of three different and inconsistent […]
