1 00:00:04,870 --> 00:00:02,629 is on observation theory uh the 2 00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:04,880 background here is a 3 00:00:08,710 --> 00:00:07,600 photograph of uh of a 4 00:00:09,509 --> 00:00:08,720 plaster 5 00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:09,519 wall 6 00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:11,920 we might take a look at it and 7 00:00:15,589 --> 00:00:14,480 all agree and describe it as a brown 8 00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:15,599 wall 9 00:00:19,109 --> 00:00:18,240 but looking more closely we see that 10 00:00:20,710 --> 00:00:19,119 it 11 00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:20,720 has lots of different tones of wall and 12 00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:23,600 a lot of texture and 13 00:00:30,070 --> 00:00:26,400 describing that becomes more 14 00:00:31,910 --> 00:00:30,080 complicated say and indeed it's uh in 15 00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:31,920 the deviations from the brown where the 16 00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:34,960 beauty uh lies and 17 00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:37,280 we may say that the 18 00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:38,640 beauty is 19 00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,520 in the eye of the beholder 20 00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:43,440 ah 21 00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:45,760 deviate a little bit here i'm the editor 22 00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,399 of uh this publication earth zine it's 23 00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:50,879 an ieee publication uh and a 24 00:00:55,270 --> 00:00:52,559 contribution to the intergovernmental 25 00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:55,280 group on uh earth observation and it 26 00:01:01,590 --> 00:00:59,120 supports uh the establishment of a 27 00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:01,600 global earth observing system of systems 28 00:01:07,030 --> 00:01:04,879 and it's doing so and being designed 29 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:07,040 around earth observation for the benefit 30 00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:10,240 of society and we may 31 00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:12,240 say well what does this have to do with 32 00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:14,320 observation theory it's 33 00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:15,280 in 34 00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:17,520 uh through observation that we become 35 00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:18,640 aware 36 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:20,560 and this is true for the astronomer 37 00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:22,080 looking out into 38 00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:25,680 the universe and discovering new uh 39 00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:29,840 planetary systems or galaxies and uh for 40 00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:30,640 the 41 00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:31,840 monk who 42 00:01:35,830 --> 00:01:34,479 looks inward and 43 00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:35,840 discovers 44 00:01:40,870 --> 00:01:38,159 the divine or 45 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:40,880 a mother who uh looks 46 00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:43,040 washes diligently uh 47 00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:44,079 after the 48 00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:46,560 her children um 49 00:01:50,789 --> 00:01:47,680 now 50 00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:50,799 this uh presentation deviates uh quite a 51 00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:53,759 bit from um 52 00:01:58,230 --> 00:01:56,479 uh presentations but uh the audience is 53 00:02:00,870 --> 00:01:58,240 significantly different and i imagine 54 00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:00,880 y'all uh recognize that uh the 55 00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:04,240 precognites in the audience and so uh 56 00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:06,000 i'm going to uh 57 00:02:10,949 --> 00:02:07,040 kind of 58 00:02:13,589 --> 00:02:10,959 uh into the 59 00:02:16,150 --> 00:02:13,599 gist of the theory and uh 60 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:16,160 uh what leading to the concept of 61 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,640 ensemble detection and analysis 62 00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:20,720 and um 63 00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:24,000 like to get into more uh what the 64 00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:25,520 interpretation of the underlying 65 00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:27,520 mathematics is 66 00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:29,440 pretty interesting 67 00:02:35,509 --> 00:02:32,640 now how i got into this was uh i 68 00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:35,519 designed radiometer systems and 69 00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:38,879 i found that there's not a general 70 00:02:43,110 --> 00:02:41,120 a single method and what i 71 00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:43,120 did as part of my dissertation studies 72 00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:45,599 is develop the methodology using 73 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,519 measurement uncertainty as a figure of 74 00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:49,440 merit for 75 00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:51,440 comparative analysis of radiometer 76 00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:53,680 designs radiometers are 77 00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:55,680 the whole reason we 78 00:03:00,150 --> 00:02:58,400 have to have this fancy calibration 79 00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:00,160 architecture at the front of the end of 80 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:02,400 the system is 81 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:03,599 because 82 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:05,920 the uh 83 00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:07,840 system response varies 84 00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:10,159 varies with time 85 00:03:15,589 --> 00:03:11,599 and um 86 00:03:18,309 --> 00:03:15,599 it's this uh temporal variability that 87 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:18,319 leads to the non-stationary conundrum 88 00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:19,680 which is 89 00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:20,959 described 90 00:03:25,509 --> 00:03:23,599 take a look at a process at one space 91 00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:25,519 and time and you get 92 00:03:29,350 --> 00:03:27,360 one answer and look at it at a different 93 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:29,360 place you get a get a different set of 94 00:03:34,149 --> 00:03:31,120 statistics and 95 00:03:37,990 --> 00:03:34,159 currently we really don't have a 96 00:03:39,910 --> 00:03:38,000 very good way of describing that well 97 00:03:43,910 --> 00:03:39,920 and i thought ran into this problem in 98 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,920 developing a generalized methodology 99 00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:45,120 here 100 00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:48,319 uh you see a radiometer system with gain 101 00:03:54,949 --> 00:03:50,799 fluctuations and the gain fluctuations 102 00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:54,959 uh in observing each one of the uh 103 00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:57,599 temperature references appear 104 00:04:02,710 --> 00:04:00,319 as uh in each of the time series of the 105 00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:02,720 different references now what we do in 106 00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:04,879 radiometry is we apply 107 00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:07,439 a calibration algorithm f which combines 108 00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:10,319 the calibration references in making an 109 00:04:15,509 --> 00:04:12,480 estimate of what 110 00:04:17,670 --> 00:04:15,519 the brightness temperature is 111 00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:17,680 and we can 112 00:04:22,629 --> 00:04:19,359 take a look at what the uncertainty in 113 00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:22,639 the estimate is by uh and here i i show 114 00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:24,960 some analysis with the data and i uh the 115 00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:27,199 brackets here are the uh statistical 116 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:29,840 operation 117 00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:33,040 statistical calculation from the data 118 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:36,320 and we see that using a 119 00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,479 two pair algorithm using two pairs of 120 00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:40,320 calibration measurements to estimate 121 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:41,280 what the 122 00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:43,440 brightness temperature at at some 123 00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,160 different time is and we can slide and 124 00:04:50,230 --> 00:04:48,479 slide this time across and what we see 125 00:04:51,909 --> 00:04:50,240 is we get minimum uncertainty at the 126 00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:51,919 time when 127 00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:53,040 the 128 00:04:59,350 --> 00:04:57,520 calibration a local maximum when it's 129 00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:59,360 right in between a local minimum and we 130 00:05:02,710 --> 00:05:00,800 can uh 131 00:05:06,150 --> 00:05:02,720 i've done i showed this for for 132 00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:06,160 different t1's now what 133 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:09,840 enables this uh type of analysis is is 134 00:05:13,749 --> 00:05:11,120 that 135 00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:13,759 we have a collection of ensemble data 136 00:05:20,390 --> 00:05:17,520 which uh uh describes the the which has 137 00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:20,400 the fluctuations of the receiver 138 00:05:27,189 --> 00:05:24,230 the challenge challenges is in in 139 00:05:30,150 --> 00:05:27,199 modeling this okay taking um you know 140 00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:30,160 calculating what the uh uncertainty is 141 00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:33,120 from from uh 142 00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,400 a model and uh as 143 00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:39,120 leave it here now 144 00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:42,320 calibration has a few different things 145 00:05:47,670 --> 00:05:44,160 does a few different things for us one 146 00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:47,680 is it provides scale which we can assign 147 00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:50,960 value another is is that 148 00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:53,520 from that we are able to 149 00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:55,840 distinguish uh say a signal from 150 00:06:01,670 --> 00:05:58,080 background noise another thing that 151 00:06:04,629 --> 00:06:01,680 calibration does is it provides the 152 00:06:06,790 --> 00:06:04,639 means of comparing measurements made at 153 00:06:09,590 --> 00:06:06,800 one place in time say here in boulder 154 00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:09,600 yesterday to a measurement made tomorrow 155 00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:12,240 in france and it's these properties of 156 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:15,360 calibration that make it very useful to 157 00:06:18,710 --> 00:06:16,800 studying and characterizing 158 00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:18,720 non-stationary prop 159 00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:20,720 non-stationary processes 160 00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:22,800 and there's lots of different uh 161 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:25,360 approaches and uh to modeling and 162 00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:28,240 characterizing non-stationary processes 163 00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:31,199 that have been say fashionable over the 164 00:06:36,150 --> 00:06:33,039 years and 165 00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:36,160 more recently uh there's uh work by 166 00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,560 norton long and all uh empirical mode 167 00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:40,240 decomposition and 168 00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:43,840 uh all these have uh something in common 169 00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:47,120 is that they uh they're based upon a 170 00:06:50,870 --> 00:06:49,440 single realization of the data 171 00:06:56,469 --> 00:06:50,880 and 172 00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:56,479 analysis as a new method that 173 00:06:59,990 --> 00:06:58,319 complements these 174 00:07:02,629 --> 00:07:00,000 previous things 175 00:07:05,110 --> 00:07:02,639 looking more closely at at this 176 00:07:08,309 --> 00:07:05,120 stochastic process theory is kind of an 177 00:07:10,070 --> 00:07:08,319 outgrowth of probability theory where uh 178 00:07:29,270 --> 00:07:10,080 a 179 00:07:31,749 --> 00:07:29,280 ensemble set of 180 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:31,759 time series well all these kind of 181 00:07:35,749 --> 00:07:32,960 exist 182 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:35,759 say simultaneously and what we get 183 00:07:41,350 --> 00:07:38,240 from a single realization is a selection 184 00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:41,360 of one of these and this uh treatment of 185 00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:43,039 mathematics 186 00:07:47,430 --> 00:07:43,919 is has 187 00:07:49,589 --> 00:07:47,440 led to the auto correlation function and 188 00:07:51,749 --> 00:07:49,599 lots of uh 189 00:07:53,749 --> 00:07:51,759 from which we can 190 00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:53,759 calculate what the what the variance of 191 00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:56,080 the process is 192 00:07:58,869 --> 00:07:56,960 but 193 00:08:01,990 --> 00:07:58,879 there's really really a problem and this 194 00:08:03,110 --> 00:08:02,000 has been been a stigma in applying 195 00:08:08,469 --> 00:08:03,120 uh 196 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:08,479 theory more broadly in in 197 00:08:14,629 --> 00:08:11,199 uh science and engineering practices and 198 00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:14,639 and that is that the uh ensemble 199 00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:17,120 statistics that that we get don't really 200 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:19,280 match uh the 201 00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:21,840 measurements we get whenever we change 202 00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:24,720 the observation interval and 203 00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:27,759 that can be 204 00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:30,720 part of the problem i see is that the 205 00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:32,719 ensemble changes 206 00:08:38,389 --> 00:08:34,959 you know processes uh 207 00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:38,399 processes die and are born 208 00:08:40,389 --> 00:08:39,200 and 209 00:08:43,430 --> 00:08:40,399 alternatively 210 00:08:44,149 --> 00:08:43,440 and this kind of com has come out of uh 211 00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:44,159 the 212 00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:48,640 treatment of uh 213 00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:50,880 the uncertainty where uh 214 00:09:03,030 --> 00:08:52,080 i 215 00:09:04,870 --> 00:09:03,040 process um 216 00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:04,880 in estimating the mean value at one 217 00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:06,720 point in time from a measurement made at 218 00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:08,399 a different point in time 219 00:09:14,710 --> 00:09:10,959 and uh this 220 00:09:16,310 --> 00:09:14,720 uh and so during an uh kind of uh treat 221 00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:16,320 instead of the the process is 222 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:19,040 non-stationary treated as a as an array 223 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,080 of uh random events with each event 224 00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:24,880 having a conditional probability 225 00:09:27,509 --> 00:09:26,560 density function 226 00:09:28,710 --> 00:09:27,519 and 227 00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:28,720 the 228 00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:31,200 each random variable has 229 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:32,080 the 230 00:09:39,829 --> 00:09:36,720 applied 231 00:09:39,839 --> 00:09:45,030 depends upon how how it's used and 232 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:45,910 this 233 00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:48,959 kind of formulations kind of led me to 234 00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:51,360 realize that hey this has a 235 00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:54,080 connection with say conscious 236 00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:56,640 phenomena or or the experience that how 237 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,750 an event in time 238 00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:03,920 be interpreted in two completely 239 00:10:06,870 --> 00:10:05,360 different ways 240 00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:06,880 from different points of time and it's 241 00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,000 about this uh when i was looking at this 242 00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:12,880 that a a friend of mine pointed me to 243 00:10:15,590 --> 00:10:14,640 the work of 244 00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:15,600 robert 245 00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:18,720 john and brenda dunn and i 246 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:20,720 realized that you know what they were 247 00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:21,920 doing with 248 00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:27,509 the field regs and the random event 249 00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:30,079 generators it was was based upon noise 250 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:31,120 measurements 251 00:10:35,110 --> 00:10:33,200 using a circuit much like 252 00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:35,120 we use in radiometry kind of like a 253 00:10:39,910 --> 00:10:37,040 dickey radiometer circuit 254 00:10:42,389 --> 00:10:39,920 so and that's how i came about 255 00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:42,399 being here and i certainly appreciate uh 256 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:45,600 been pointing me in this direction 257 00:10:51,990 --> 00:10:48,399 here's a few uncertainty models uh kind 258 00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:52,000 of different for a stationary process uh 259 00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:54,720 the uncertainty is independent really of 260 00:11:00,230 --> 00:10:57,360 of the temporal separation between pc 261 00:11:02,550 --> 00:11:00,240 and ta here for a 262 00:11:05,110 --> 00:11:02,560 non-station uncertainty 263 00:11:07,269 --> 00:11:05,120 the uncertainty is minimum at the same 264 00:11:09,590 --> 00:11:07,279 time and increases uh 265 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:09,600 way and we can have local stationary 266 00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:11,680 local non-stationary and 267 00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:14,320 here's an asymmetric uncertain certainty 268 00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:16,880 and these are uh kind of models that 269 00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:19,519 i've i've used in in my data this is a 270 00:11:25,430 --> 00:11:22,720 parametric fit to uh some radiometer 271 00:11:28,230 --> 00:11:25,440 data that i showed previously saying 272 00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:28,240 data and i'm using a four parameter 273 00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:29,279 model here 274 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,959 to to 275 00:11:35,910 --> 00:11:32,240 characterize the 276 00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:35,920 the uh to a linear fit for the 277 00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:37,839 uncertainty and a linear fit to the 278 00:11:41,509 --> 00:11:39,760 correlation 279 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:41,519 and 280 00:11:45,910 --> 00:11:44,640 what's interesting is that you know uh 281 00:11:50,550 --> 00:11:45,920 there's 282 00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:50,560 features in the this data uh 283 00:11:56,150 --> 00:11:54,000 but uh you see uh there's a core 284 00:11:59,350 --> 00:11:56,160 correlation at 285 00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,360 aspect when uh the the two pairs of 286 00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:01,839 calibration measurements are close in in 287 00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:05,279 uh time uh they produce a higher 288 00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:08,240 uncertainty whenever the uh 289 00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:10,040 calibration algorithm is 290 00:12:14,710 --> 00:12:13,200 extrapolated then uh as you separate so 291 00:12:16,629 --> 00:12:14,720 that kind of indicates another 292 00:12:18,949 --> 00:12:16,639 interesting feature as you take a look 293 00:12:21,110 --> 00:12:18,959 that uh if 294 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:21,120 on on this side the 295 00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:24,399 uh uncertainty is is higher than what 296 00:12:29,990 --> 00:12:27,600 the model is and on this side it's 297 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:30,000 lower you can see that in this red curve 298 00:12:33,269 --> 00:12:31,519 here well 299 00:12:35,269 --> 00:12:33,279 that indicates that the 300 00:12:38,310 --> 00:12:35,279 for this data set the 301 00:12:41,910 --> 00:12:38,320 calibration has greater uncertainty in 302 00:12:43,350 --> 00:12:41,920 uh estimating a future value than in in 303 00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:43,360 the past 304 00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:44,160 the 305 00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:49,200 in in this data set 306 00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:50,720 and 307 00:12:57,509 --> 00:12:54,240 using uh a one parameter asymmetry term 308 00:13:00,150 --> 00:12:57,519 and in my model i can uh uh correct for 309 00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:00,160 that and and get a really pretty nice 310 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:02,560 fit and you can see that indeed there's 311 00:13:06,629 --> 00:13:05,360 there's an asymmetry in the model 312 00:13:08,150 --> 00:13:06,639 well 313 00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:08,160 two minutes okay 314 00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:09,040 uh 315 00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:18,480 has been applied to radiometry but it is 316 00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:21,120 any generalized uh too 317 00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:23,360 the math is very 318 00:13:28,150 --> 00:13:25,680 generalized and so 319 00:13:30,389 --> 00:13:28,160 the thought is to uh use calibrated 320 00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:30,399 noise uh in characterizing 321 00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:32,880 non-stationary forcing functions in 322 00:13:37,269 --> 00:13:34,800 uh what i call 323 00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:37,279 ensemble detection and analysis 324 00:13:43,190 --> 00:13:39,120 here 325 00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:43,200 applications one of the really neat 326 00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:45,600 things about this is that there are a 327 00:13:48,710 --> 00:13:46,880 wide number of 328 00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:48,720 applications that 329 00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:51,360 from instrument system analysis and 330 00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:54,399 sampling strategy optimization and 331 00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:57,040 in information processing which 332 00:14:02,069 --> 00:13:59,839 is uh quite useful i mean 333 00:14:04,949 --> 00:14:02,079 this is uh 334 00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:04,959 shows how a model can be uh 335 00:14:11,189 --> 00:14:08,160 used in uh say 336 00:14:13,509 --> 00:14:11,199 optimizing sampling strategy uh nasa be 337 00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:13,519 interested in this and 338 00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:16,160 determining well with uh one satellite 339 00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:18,240 we can sample uh 340 00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:20,240 with such a frequency and get get this 341 00:14:23,509 --> 00:14:22,000 type of uncertainty this level of 342 00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:23,519 uncertainty but if we use three 343 00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:26,079 satellites we can increase the sampling 344 00:14:30,790 --> 00:14:28,480 frequency and and uh improve the 345 00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:30,800 uncertainty and the measurement 346 00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:33,680 and has uh application to to climate 347 00:14:39,829 --> 00:14:37,360 modeling as i show uh here it's uh 348 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:39,839 interesting there's a uh other 349 00:14:43,590 --> 00:14:41,920 uh works are being published that i've 350 00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:43,600 seen in in the 351 00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:45,760 past few few years 352 00:14:53,110 --> 00:14:46,720 of 353 00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:55,590 finish up here with the 354 00:14:58,870 --> 00:14:57,279 interpretation of the mathematics what 355 00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,880 the mathematics 356 00:15:01,590 --> 00:15:00,240 means 357 00:15:02,870 --> 00:15:01,600 is 358 00:15:05,430 --> 00:15:02,880 that 359 00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:05,440 the time space comprise an array of 360 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:08,880 events across which a stochastic wave 361 00:15:11,509 --> 00:15:10,320 propagates 362 00:15:14,150 --> 00:15:11,519 and 363 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:14,160 the the present is characterized by 364 00:15:18,069 --> 00:15:16,399 minimum uncertainty uh 365 00:15:19,990 --> 00:15:18,079 and uh that 366 00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:20,000 time points in the direction of greater 367 00:15:25,269 --> 00:15:24,240 uncertainty if uh the past is equally 368 00:15:28,069 --> 00:15:25,279 uncertain 369 00:15:30,069 --> 00:15:28,079 as the future the the process would be 370 00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:30,079 uh stationary 371 00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:33,920 um and uh observation uh the outcome 372 00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:37,279 depends upon this perspective and uh as 373 00:15:40,389 --> 00:15:39,519 as well as uh the 374 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:40,399 uh 375 00:15:47,829 --> 00:15:46,000 the the the values that we assign to our 376 00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:47,839 references and the way we use those 377 00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:49,360 references and 378 00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:53,120 and assigning value to uh our outcomes 379 00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:56,240 that we observe uh the 380 00:16:04,150 --> 00:15:57,120 character 381 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:04,160 of this stochastic wave uh and uh the uh 382 00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:07,040 value of uncertainty depends upon uh the 383 00:16:12,870 --> 00:16:10,160 waiting of uh the future and and and 384 00:16:15,670 --> 00:16:12,880 past and uh and finally ensemble 385 00:16:18,710 --> 00:16:15,680 detection provides a means of uh 386 00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:18,720 detecting this uh stochastic wave 387 00:16:22,949 --> 00:16:21,199 you know i may uh stop there got a 388 00:16:32,230 --> 00:16:22,959 couple more but i'd certainly like to 389 00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:33,189 are there 390 00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,560 any questions 391 00:16:38,470 --> 00:16:36,560 yes i have a question uh thank you very 392 00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:38,480 much you've given me a lot to think 393 00:16:43,269 --> 00:16:40,720 about years ago i did a lot of signal 394 00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:43,279 analysis work and i'm wondering if 395 00:16:47,749 --> 00:16:45,040 you probably said it i didn't quite 396 00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:47,759 grasp it the connection between pattern 397 00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:49,920 adaptive pattern recognition as used in 398 00:16:52,949 --> 00:16:51,519 signal processing and what you're 399 00:16:55,110 --> 00:16:52,959 talking about here 400 00:16:59,509 --> 00:16:55,120 how do those correlate 401 00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:00,310 this 402 00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:02,320 technique ensemble detection and 403 00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:05,679 analysis certainly has uh application to 404 00:17:15,669 --> 00:17:07,039 uh 405 00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:15,679 i 406 00:17:28,390 --> 00:17:27,360 between 407 00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:28,400 um 408 00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:31,840 sampled events uh and in terms of uh its 409 00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:35,600 utilization one is coming up with a uh 410 00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:42,950 evaluating calculating what a a 411 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:45,120 stochastic parametric model which 412 00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:48,000 describes that data and then uh take new 413 00:17:53,430 --> 00:17:50,640 data coming in and and compare 414 00:17:57,590 --> 00:17:53,440 the the data and either we detect a 415 00:18:00,710 --> 00:17:57,600 change or uh uh adapt that the model 416 00:18:03,110 --> 00:18:00,720 kind of like that 417 00:18:04,390 --> 00:18:03,120 so perhaps following from that question 418 00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:04,400 uh 419 00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:06,240 it would be helpful to me 420 00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:09,039 can you give a specific example 421 00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:14,559 of say a random event generator output 422 00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:17,840 something like from the pair lab 423 00:18:22,789 --> 00:18:20,559 how you would analyze it what would you 424 00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:22,799 take what would you do with that data 425 00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:26,080 and how would that help in understanding 426 00:18:31,750 --> 00:18:27,360 uh 427 00:18:32,789 --> 00:18:31,760 effects 428 00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:32,799 yeah 429 00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:36,080 that's an interesting question and i uh 430 00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:38,720 have some thoughts about how to 431 00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:42,160 kind of uh adapt the the regs to uh 432 00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:46,400 using this technique really it's uh 433 00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:47,280 in 434 00:18:57,830 --> 00:18:52,880 series of random events from say a 435 00:19:00,070 --> 00:18:57,840 a single noise source use uh 436 00:19:01,909 --> 00:19:00,080 and having that be the the 437 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:01,919 the control signal that we're looking at 438 00:19:07,669 --> 00:19:04,559 as you know how it goes up and goes down 439 00:19:10,630 --> 00:19:07,679 and uh the role uh 440 00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:10,640 have the say the control signal that is 441 00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:13,360 being analyzed be the 442 00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:17,430 gain of the 443 00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:19,520 of the receiver say 444 00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:20,480 and 445 00:19:23,270 --> 00:19:21,280 use 446 00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:23,280 calibrated noise 447 00:19:31,669 --> 00:19:28,789 to 448 00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:31,679 detect changes in that game 449 00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:34,559 that would allow 450 00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:36,160 more 451 00:19:41,830 --> 00:19:38,480 temporal processing of the data say 452 00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:41,840 being able to apply uh a calibration 453 00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:48,630 fluctuations that are being seen during 454 00:19:53,510 --> 00:19:51,200 say an event of interest 455 00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:53,520 as you may know the roger nelson's 456 00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:55,600 global consciousness project has all of 457 00:19:59,830 --> 00:19:57,760 its data available online 458 00:20:02,070 --> 00:19:59,840 and it may be really interesting for 459 00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:02,080 someone with your perspective to take a 460 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:02,880 look 461 00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:05,760 at that data and just see if you can 462 00:20:11,270 --> 00:20:09,120 glean uh different information from it 463 00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:11,280 yeah 464 00:20:17,990 --> 00:20:15,520 certainly i i'm uh interested in in uh 465 00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:19,510 it's 466 00:20:24,310 --> 00:20:21,360 you know i um 467 00:20:27,669 --> 00:20:24,320 um see uh 468 00:20:30,710 --> 00:20:27,679 advantages in kind of uh adapting the 469 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:30,720 design where instead of using like a 470 00:20:39,590 --> 00:20:34,480 a single uh random event generator 471 00:20:43,350 --> 00:20:39,600 uh albeit um the eggs are discrete but 472 00:20:45,750 --> 00:20:43,360 uh coupling them together and using uh 473 00:20:48,710 --> 00:20:45,760 a random event generator with uh 474 00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:48,720 calibrated noise with and and when i say 475 00:20:53,830 --> 00:20:52,240 calibrated noisy uh the the noise has 476 00:20:56,549 --> 00:20:53,840 and uh 477 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:56,559 has different noise power levels to it 478 00:21:03,270 --> 00:21:00,480 which have an a priori uh 479 00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:03,280 statistical relationship from which you 480 00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:05,840 can detect deviations from
