R2: Downsides and Potential Pitfalls for ESS ML Prediction

Datasaurus plot
Always plot your data!

Regression analysis is a fundamental concept in the field of machine learning (ML), in that it helps establish relationships among the variables by estimating how one variable affects the other.

The coefficient of determination, R2 (pronounced “R squared”), is a measure that provides information about how well the regression line suggested by a numerical model approximates the actual data (often referred to as “goodness of fit”).

Self Organizing Maps for Earth Systems Science

A self-organizing map (SOM), sometimes known as a Kohonen map after its originator the Finnish professor Teuvo Kohonen, is an unsupervised machine learning technique used to produce a low-dimensional representation of a higher dimensional data set. SOMs are a specific type of artificial neural network, but use a different training strategy compared to more traditional artificial neural networks (ANNs). SOMs can be used for clustering, dimensionality reduction, feature extraction, and classification — all of which suggest that they can be important tools for understanding large Earth Systems Science (ESS) datasets.
