Bayesian information criteria for clustering normally distributed data

Anthony J. Webster

Maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) are asymptotically normally distributed, and this property is used in meta-analyses to test the heterogeneity of estimates, either for a single…

Multi-stage models for the failure of complex systems, cascading disasters, and the onset of disease

A. J. Webster

Complex systems can fail through different routes, often progressing through a series of (rate-limiting) steps and modified by environmental exposures. The onset of disease, cancer…

Lightning Strikes and Attribution of Climatic Change

Anthony J. Webster

Using lightning strikes as an example, two possible schemes are discussed for the attribution of changes in event frequency to climate change, and estimating the cost associated wi…

The unintended influence of control systems on edge-plasma transport and stability in the Joint European Torus

A. J. Webster, J. Morris, T. N. Todd +2

A unique experiment in the Joint European Torus (JET) consecutively produced 120 almost identical plasma pulses, providing two orders of magnitude more data than is usually availab…

Distinguishing Cause from Correlation in Tokamak Experiments to Trigger Edge Localised Plasma Instabilities

A. J. Webster

The generic question is considered: How can we determine the probability of an otherwise quasirandom event, having been triggered by an external influence? A specific problem is th…

Time-Resonant Tokamak Plasma Edge Instabilities?

A. J. Webster, R. O. Dendy, F. A. Calderon +14

For a two week period during the Joint European Torus (JET) 2012 experimental campaign, the same high confinement plasma was repeated 151 times. The dataset was analysed to produce…
