USGS - science for a changing world
The Surrogate Analysis and Index Developer (SAID) Tool
 

Features

 

Match observations from multiple time series data sets

  • Similar method to a left join database operation
  • Matching is done between observations that are closest in time
  • Adjustable maximum allowable time difference between matching observations

Create linear regression models

  • Ordinary least squares regression models
  • Quickly change the variables used in the regression
  • No limit on the number of variables used in the linear model
  • No restrictions to which variables must be used
  • Ability to exclude observations used in the model

Compute ADVM backscatter parameters

  • Modify ADVM configuration parameters
  • Adjust backscatter values and cell range used in the computation
  • Near field correction

View backscatter profiles

  • Plots of measured, water corrected, and sediment corrected backscatter against distance along acoustic axis of beam
  • Simultaneously view multiple observations

View linear model diagnostic statistics and plots

  • Diagnostic statistics
    • Standard linear regression diagnostic statistics
    • Probability plot correlation coefficient
    • Non-parametric smearing bias correction factor
  • Plots
    • SLR scatter plots in transformed and linear space
    • Partial residual plots for MLR
    • Model residual
      • Raw vs. fitted
      • Probability
      • Standardized serial correlation

Export model information

  • Save model information as a MATLAB MAT-file
  • Write model information as a csv file

Generate a predicted time series
