Detection of Atypical Years in the Tree-Ring Series by Construction of a Temporal Walk in the Principal Components Planes

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a method for identifying years of anomalous radial growth, which are called atypical years and are characterized by particularly narrow rings for certain trees or sites, and wide for the others. With this aim, we use principal components analysis (PCA) of tr...
