A Semi-Parametric Model for Assessing the Effect of Temperature on Ice Accumulation Rate From Antarctic Ice Core Data
利用南极冰芯数据评估温度与冰积累速率的半参数模型
In this paper, we present a semiparametric model for describing the effect of temperature on Antarctic ice accumulation on a paleoclimatic time scale. The model is motivated by sharp ups and downs in the rate of ice accumulation apparent from ice core data records, which are synchronous with movements of temperature. We prove consistency of the estimators under reasonable conditions. We conduct extensive simulations to assess the performance of the estimators and their…
