EOF_STAT

EOF_STAT(A,FRAC_TIMESER) Used with EOF_SPACE and/or EOF_TFUNC. Return statistics related to an EOF solution for a given set of parameters. Results are on the x-axis j = 1: # EOFscomputed and scaled, j = 2: % percentage of total variance accounted for by each eigenvector, j = 3: the eigenvalues.

Arguments:

A

Variable in any spatial dimensions, and time


FRAC_TIMESER

Use only those time series with this fraction valid data, e.g. 0.8 to require that 80% of the data be present to use the data at a location.

Result Axes:

X

ABSTRACT: 1 to NEOF


Y

ABSTRACT: 1 through 3 as outlined in the description.


Z

NORMAL (no axis)


T

NORMAL (no axis)

Please see the discussion under EOF_SPACE, and see the demonstration ef_eof_demo.jnl for examples of this function.

Example results:

For a simple sample function, eof_stat called to decompose it into eigenfunctions. We allow data to be used if the time series at the point has at least 80% valid data.

Request the number of eigenvalues computed for this choice of parameters.

yes? list/i=1/j=1 eofstat
VARIABLE : EOF_STAT(SST[X=67W:1W,Y=11S:11N], 0.8)0
DATA SET : COADS Monthly Climatology (1946-1989)
FILENAME : coads_climatology.des
FILEPATH : /home/ja9/tmap/fer_dsets/descr/
X : 1
Y : 1
284.0

Now get the percent variance explained by the eigenfunctions which were computed.

yes? list/i=1:10/j=2 eofstat
VARIABLE : EOF_STAT(SST[X=67W:1W,Y=11S:11N], 0.8)
DATA SET : COADS Monthly Climatology (1946-1989)
FILENAME : coads_climatology.des
FILEPATH : /home/ja9/tmap/fer_dsets/descr/
SUBSET : 10 points (X)
Y : 2

7 / 7: 0.31

9 / 9: 0.15
10 / 10: 0.11

And finally the eigenvalues associated with these eigenfunctions.
