Dear Bert Gunter and Mathew Guilfoyle, Thanks for the reply.
I also agree with you. But that is the actual slope of the straight line connecting from the first estimated value to last estimated value ( like dy/dx slope). I tried in that way also, but I couldn't replicate the results as given in that Box 2.2, Table 1 and Figure 1. I can replicate the line plot as in Box 2.2, Figure 1 (a) (to verify my input data is the same as in Figure 1 (a)). You can see my plot here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WDFFW5J69WvxnhbfdcOZKvGRk6HUWVn/view?usp=sharing I have attached my code and data (as NetCDF file) along with this mail. input Data (only 32Kb) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wt5sjVhWmjhRWOfdc6elUzwOvifRk-OI/view?usp=sharing code: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r5mg1vcNmDCIf19jnMUAFEiLNOLKQiKq/view?usp=sharing output figure: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bEXWCB-H5doVKXO8i_FLO7KZMW3qc9Cw/view?usp=sharing Sincerely, Dileepkumar R On Tue, Aug 11, 2020 at 11:41 PM Mathew Guilfoyle <mrguilfo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Looking at the report (specifically the legend for the table) I think all > they have done is take the difference between fitted temperatures (given by > linear regression or the GAM) at the start and end of each period (e.g. in > 1901 and 2012), and then calculate the average change per year. > > In a way it ‘linearises’ the spline trend but I don’t think it’s really > valid.
