Evaluating trends in time series of distributions: A spatial fingerprint of human effects on climate
分布时间序列的趋势评估:人类气候影响的空间指纹
We analyze a time series of global temperature anomaly distributions to identify and estimate persistent features in climate change. We employ a formal test for the existence of functional unit roots in the time series of these densities, and we develop a new test to distinguish functional unit roots from functional deterministic trends or explosive behavior. Results suggest that temperature anomalies contain stochastic trends (as opposed to deterministic trends or explosive…
