Is it really a problem?
Tell me what it means!
The long comment thread at Bart’s inspired Josh to draw a cartoon. For more cartoons, visit Cartoons by Josh. (His site doesn’t seem to be set up to run blog software. I think he should consider doing that!)

Many thanks, Lucia! And yes to blogging – I just need to work out how to ‘connect up all the dots’!
And if anyone knows of a decent picture/image theme then do let me know – I have not found one yet.
Funny. Very funny.
Wow, lucia. An abstract inspiration! expressed in a format more tuned to the senses. Very interesting choice of vantage for exploring epistemology. And you managed it with words of no more than two syllables.
Numbers make no sense
But with Dickey-Fuller
Ah! Let there be light!
Lucia, I cannot figure out your contact button. Please send me an email.
Thanks,

Short recap:
VS: “All of these formal results put together, lead me to formally infer that the GISS combined temperature record is indeed infested by a unit root, and therefore contains a so-called stochastic trend.. (i.e. is non-stationary 🙂

I saw Pluck’s comment and it said that I still have 10 minutes to edit it. I clicked on edit and the message above showed up but it wouldn’t let me edit it (not that I was going to). I smell a bug.
Chad–
There could be a bug. I didn’t write that plugin. So… not going to hunt for the bug!
ha, he needs to do a moshpit
So what does it mean?
Is this going to turn out to be the climate science version of ‘Long- Term Capital’

and its successor follies that led to the financial collapse we are trying to work through today?
Josh is certainly very talented.

A bit off topic, a couple of your readers were wondering about open source software to make images from gridded data. I’ve just released my GridToMap program which does exactly that. Details are here: http://magicjava.blogspot.com/2010/03/aqua-satellite-project-update-5.html
Lucia,
Here is something I just stumbled across.
http://probabilitymanagement.org/
It seems like a serious attempt to apply statistics.
Have you heard of it, or do you have any opinion on it?
