Spatial methods paper and update in EWS toolbox

April 17, 2014Uncategorizedvasilisdakos

Few weeks ago our paper on spatial indicators for critical transitions was published in PloS One. It is a follow up paper from our previous work on methods for timeseries. The methods of the paper are now summarized in the spatial indicators section of the EWS toolbox website. The actual R code soon will be part of the update R earlywarnings package.
