Starting from GIMMS values as ascii data (each line will be treated as individual time series), the application can smooth the ts - values by applying different algorithm that are based on Fouriertransformation. Separation of seasonal figure as well as the detection of linear trends is possible. Possible breaks in longterm mean can be detected with a change-point analysis using CuSum algorithms. Phenological events such as start-of-season, day-of-max/day-of-min, end-of-season can be determined via threshold-based algorithms or via analysis of max. increase of NDVI during green-up. These analyses work also for multimodal phenologies where individual seasons (partly) interfere each other. ...

...It was named after the REDD+ pilot-project 'programme holistique de conservation des forêts à Madagascar'. phcfM includes two main functions: (i) demography(), to model the population growth with time in a hierarchical Bayesian framework using population census data and Gaussian linear mixed models and (ii) deforestation(), to model the deforestation process in a hierarchical Bayesian framework using land-cover change data and Binomial logistic regression models with variable time-intervals between land-cover observations. The two functions use embedded Gibbs samplers written in C++ with the Scythe statistical library to reduce computational time.

WHATCH’EM simulates the highly non-linear manner in which atmospheric conditions and container characteristics determine water temperature and height, leading to results that are not always intuitive and likely not simulated by simpler empirical models. WHATCH’EM has the capacity to be utilized for other mosquitoes and other container-inhabiting arthropods.

Simulates data from a gaussian/beta/piecewise-linear species response function on an environmental gradient, with different sampling (error) distributions. See "Cline (biology)" on wikipedia.org.
