Abstract:
|
Functional Clustering of Water Pressure Data Water pressure data were collected from 16 boreholes drilled into the Bench Glacier in Alaska. Data were collected over a field season of about 50 days, at approximately 15 minute time intervals; however, the times of measurement were different across boreholes. The glaciological question of interest focuses on whether there is any clustering of the boreholes. We explore this question by treating the water pressure observations as functional data and performing cluster analysis. Both the functions as well as the first order derivatives are used in the analysis
