Moving Towards Fully Ensemble-Derived Background-Error Covariances for NWP at ECCC

The transition from hybrid covariances to fully ensemble-derived background-error covariances for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is explored in this paper. It discusses the evolution of covariance formulations, the use of scale-dependent localizati

Understanding Generalized Discriminant Analysis (GDA) in Pattern Recognition

Generalized Discriminant Analysis (GDA) is a nonlinear form of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) that utilizes kernel methods to find discriminatory features for optimal class separability. LDA aims to maximize the between-class covariance matrix while minimizing the within-class covariance matrix.
