I'm specifically referring to the sentence "But, as predicted by the hypothesis at the beginning of the post, there has not been a significant (i.e. R-squared greater than 0.05) increase in temperature over the 110 years.". I think any passing reader would assume that you meant "significance" in the sense of statistical significance - that is, allowing for noise, does Indiana appear to have been getting warmer since 1890. But the size of the R^2 has to do with the degree of correlation between two variables, and doesn't tell you whether or not the degree of linear trend is statistically significant. So it's not helpful in assessing whether or not Indiana is warming. For that, you have to use a proper linear regression significance test.Stuart Stanifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182839827506265860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251183560375528307.post-30156728000901535212010-06-22T18:44:55.685-05:002010-06-22T18:44:55.685-05:00Porsena:

Vide the latitude relationship and the impact of longitude where it is, for example, actually tied to elevation.Heading Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790783659594652657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251183560375528307.post-80891946097436655972010-06-20T17:14:47.169-05:002010-06-20T17:14:47.169-05:00To which I have now replied.To which I have now replied.Heading Outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790783659594652657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251183560375528307.post-83233649047811673742010-06-20T11:25:34.439-05:002010-06-20T11:25:34.439-05:00H.O.

See my comment to your last temperature post - R^2 > 0.05 is not a valid way of assessing statistical significance on a linear regression.Stuart Stanifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182839827506265860noreply@blogger.com
