We study the well-known multiplicative Lognormal cascade process in which the multiplication of Gaussian and Lognormally distributed random variables yields time series with intermittent bursts of activity. Due to the non-stationarity of this process and the combinatorial nature of such a...

Although NOAA global temperature change data are deterministic rather than statistical, this paper suggests a method of approximating what the variance might be were temperature actually described by a polynomial corrupted with statistical measurement noise (errors). It is a novel and simple...
