Surface transports into the California Current are calculated from TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter surface height slopes during the 9.5 year period from October 1992–May 2002. These quantify the anomalous onshore and southward displacements of the water column during the 2000–2002 period, which had been hypothesized by others based on anomalous water properties...
This paper introduces a class of k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) estimators called bipartite plug-in (BPI) estimators for
estimating integrals of non-linear functions of a probability density, such as Shannon entropy and R´enyi entropy. The
density is assumed to be smooth, have bounded support, and be uniformly bounded from below on this...
