Measurement of network speed, specifically bandwidth, has long been used as a key performance indicator for home broadband. Not only has it become a tool for detecting and diagnosing poor performance, but also for making investment decisions and measuring the quality of experience. However, current tools employ traditional techniques that consider wired measurements as the most accurate. Unfortunately, home users rarely have the capability to conduct reliable wired tests, instead being only able to measure using Wi-Fi. In particular, home wireless is often viewed as an unreliable indicator of network speed, leaving home users with little recourse to challenge the quality of broadband speed that is actually delivered.

In this thesis, we investigate the extent to which Wi-Fi-based tests are actually unreliable, and more importantly, to understand if one can accurately determine if the result was indicative of broadband as a bottleneck or if the measurement was limited by Wi-Fi. We also examine whether the accuracy of the tool is determined by the congestion control algorithm (CCA) and robust against specific use cases.

The results demonstrate that such a determination is eminently possible regardless of the CCA, and that it can be done drawing only on the feature and groups of features already reported by iPerf. We show through extensive experiments that goodness (the test was indicative of broadband speeds) or badness (the test was not `indicative of broadband speeds) can be captured with a precision of 92.4%, drawing only the median throughput and interquartile range with second-by-second windowing reported by iPerf. Finally, we illustrate that the classifier is robust against cross-traffic.

This dataset includes elevation-based probability and depth statistics for estimating inundation under various sea-level rise and high tide flooding scenarios in and around the National Park Service’s Biscayne National Park. For information on the digital elevation model (DEM) source used to develop these datasets refer to the corresponding spatial metadata file (Danielson and others, 2023). This data release includes results from analyses of two local sea-level rise scenarios for two-time steps — the Intermediate-Low and Intermediate-High for 2040 and 2080 from Sweet and others (2022). Additionally, this data release includes maps of inundation probability under the minor, moderate, and major hight tide flooding thresholds. We estimated the probability of an area being inundated under a given scenario using Monte Carlo simulations with 1,000 iterations. For an individual iteration, each pixel of the DEM was randomly propagated based on the lidar data uncertainty, while the sea-level rise and high tide flooding water level estimates were also propagated based on uncertainty in the estimate (Sweet and others, 2022) and tidal datum transformation. Moreover, the probability of a pixel being inundated was calculated by summing the binary simulation outputs and dividing by 1,000. Following, probability was binned into the following classes: 1) Unlikely, probability ≤0.33; 2) Likely as not, probability >0.33 and ≤0.66; and 3) Likely, probability >0.66. Finally, depth statistics were only recorded when depth was equal to or greater than 0. We calculated the median depth, 25th percentile, 75th percentile, and interquartile range using all the pixels that met this criterion. When utilizing the depth statistics, it is important to also consider the probability of this pixel being flooded. In other words, the depth layers may show some depth returns, but the pixel may have rarely been inundated for the 1,000 iterations.

1. Introduction

Datasets are used to evaluate the performance of a Kalman filter approach to estimate daily discharge. This is a perturbed version of synthetic SWOT datasets consisting of 15 river sections, which are commonly agreed datasets for evaluating the performance of SWOT discharge algorithms (Frasson et al., 2020, 2021). The benchmarking manuscript entitled “A Kalman Filter Approach for Estimating Daily Discharge Using Space-based Discharge Estimates” is currently under review at Water Resources Research. Once the manuscript is accepted, its DOI will be included here.

2. File description

The datasets are generally divided into two categories: river information (River_Info) and time series data (Timeseries_Data). River information provides fundamental and general river characteristics, whereas time series data offers daily reach-averaged data for each reach. In time series data, the data mainly contains three components: true data, perturbed measurements, and true and perturbed flow law parameters (A0, an, and b). For each reach, there are 10000 realizations of perturbed measurements per time step and there are 100 realizations of time-invariant perturbed flow law parameters through a Monte Carlo simulation (Frasson et al., 2023). Moreover, to support our proposed Kalman filter approach to estimate daily discharge, the datasets provide the median of the perturbed discharge, river width, water surface slope, and change in the cross-sectional area, as well as the uncertainty of the perturbed discharge and change in the cross-sectional area based on the interquartile range (Fox, 2015).

The objective was to identify horn fly-susceptible and horn fly-resistant animals in a Sindhi herd by two different methods. The number of horn flies on 25 adult cows from a Sindhi herd was counted every 14 days. As it was an open herd, the trial period was divided into three stages based on cow composition, with the same cows maintained within each period: 2011-2012 (36 biweekly observations); 2012-2013 (26 biweekly observations); and 2013-2014 (22 biweekly observations). Only ten cows were present in the herd throughout the entire period from 2011-2014 (84 biweekly observations). The variables evaluated were the number of horn flies on the cows, the sampling date and a binary variable for rainy or dry season. Descriptive statistics were calculated, including the median, the interquartile range, and the minimum and maximum number of horn flies, for each observation day. For the present analysis, fly-susceptible cows were identified as those for which the infestation of flies appeared in the upper quartile for more than 50% of the weeks and in the lower quartile for less than 20% of the weeks. In contrast, fly-resistant cows were defined as those for which the fly counts appeared in the lower quartile for more than 50% of the weeks and in the upper quartile for less than 20% of the weeks. To identify resistant and susceptible cows for the best linear unbiased predictions analysis, three repeated measures linear mixed models (one for each period) were constructed with cow as a random effect intercept. The response variable was the log ten transformed counts of horn flies per cow, and the explanatory variable were the observation date and season. As the trail took place in a semiarid region with two seasons well stablished the season was evaluated monthly as a binary outcome, considering a rainy season if it rained more or equal than 50mm or dry season if the rain was less than 50mm. The Standardized residuals and the BLUPs of the random effects were obtained and assessed for normality, heteroscedasticity and outlying observations. Each cow’s BLUPs were plotted against the average quantile rank values that were determined as the difference between the number of weeks in the high-risk quartile group and the number of weeks in the low risk quartile group, averaged by the total number of weeks in each of the observation periods. A linear model fit for the values of BLUPS against the average rank values and the correlation between the two methods was tested using Spearman’s correlation coefficient. The animal effect values (BLUPs) were evaluated by percentiles, with 0 representing the lowest counts (or more resistant cows) and 10 representing the highest counts (or more susceptible cows). These BLUPs represented only the effect of cow and not the effect of day, season or other unmeasured counfounders.

This dataset consists of over 2000 snow depth and position (GNSS) measurements collected on Samoylov and Kurungnakh Islands in the Lena Delta, Russia, between March 31st and April 12th, 2019.These data were collected using an in-house (AWI) build magnetic snow depth probe (mSDP). It allows snow depth measurements to be quickly collected along transects and in grids. The device consists of a Magnetostrictive Transducer contained within a 1.5 m long stainless steel rod (the probe) which can very accurately measure the position of a magnet mounted on a plastic disk that slides up and down the rod. As the rod is inserted into the snow, the plastic disk remains on the snow surface. When the tip of the rod reaches the ground surface, a button is pressed and the device measures and records the snow depth along with the GPS position. The accuracy of the magnetic depth measurement is approximately 0.1 cm; however, the overall accuracy of the depth measurement is significantly less (2 - 4 cm) due to uncertainties in the positioning of the tip in loose vegetation at the base of the snowpack. The minimum measurable snow depth is 5 cm, due to the construction of the device.The mSDP takes 10 samples per measurement point. A Matlab script was used to process the raw data into means for each measurement point. For each measurement, outliers more than 1.5 interquartile ranges above the upper quartile or below the lower quartile were removed. If the deviation between samples was still greater than 1 cm, then all samples with a difference of more than 2 cm from the maximum were removed. This occurred only when the mSDP was removed from the snowpack before the 10 samples had been collected. Otherwise, the 10 samples from a single measurement position varied only by 1 or 2 mm.Missing data in the files are indicated by an empty value. Snow depths of less than 5 cm, below the detection limit of the mSDP, have been assigned a Dsn of "<5".
