Characterisation of long-term climate change by dimension estimates of multivariate palaeoclimatic proxy data

The problem of extracting climatically relevant information from multivariate geological records is tackled by characterising the eigenvalues of the temporarily varying correlation matrix. From these eigenvalues, a quantitative measure, the linear variance decay (LVD) dimension density, is derived....
