Reblog: “Reporting on the Outlaw Ocean”

Posted on 2 May 2021 by ecoquant

A podcast from Follow the Data reporting on The Outlaw Ocean Project, combining deep ocean issues with social concerns. These are include and are related to protecting internationally designated marine protected areas from poaching, as well as protecting reefs.

Above from: Rowlands, Gwilym, Judith Brown, Bradley Soule, Pablo Trueba Boluda, and Alex D. Rogers. “Satellite surveillance of fishing vessel activity in the ascension island exclusive economic zone and marine protected area.” Marine Policy 101 (2019): 39-50.

Kalman filtering and smoothing; dynamic linear models

Also, see datasets and R examples to accompany this excellent text.

I have used dlm almost exclusively, except when extreme efficiency was required. Since Jouni Helske's KFAS was rewritten, though, I'm increasingly drawn to it, because the noise sources it supports are more diverse than dlm's. KFAS uses the notation and approaches of Durbin, Koopman, and Harvey.

``The real problem is that programmers have spent far too much time worrying about efficiency in the wrong places and at the wrong times; premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming.''
Professor Donald Knuth, 1974
