Thesis (M.S.)--Tufts University, 2012.

The usual procedure for detecting climate change impacts from historic records chooses statistical criteria (usually alpha=0.05) to minimize the probability of Type I error, claiming a trend exists where it does not. However, it ignores Type II error, failing to detect an increasing trend in storm surges.

520 $a The usual procedure for detecting climate change impacts from historic records chooses statistical criteria (usually alpha=0.05) to minimize the probability of Type I error, claiming a trend exists where it does not. However, it ignores Type II error, failing to detect an increasing trend in storm surges.
520 $a For coastal climate change adaptation, the physical implication of a Type I error is wasted money on unneeded infrastructure. Repercussions of a Type II error, however, are major storm damages and flooding due to inadequate protection. Decision-makers are poorly served by statistical methods that do not carefully consider this type of error.
520 $a We propose a new method that combines hypothesis testing, Risk-Based Decision Making, and decision analysis, to evaluate adaptations for a possibly costly but highly uncertain increase in storms. We propose a new metric, Expected Regret, that integrates the statistical certainty and the economic impacts of a trend. This method gives needed attention to the risks of under-preparing; conveys the statistical uncertainty in a physically meaningful way; and addresses the question, "Should we adapt now, despite the uncertainty?"
