  Dynamical downscaling of earth system models is intended to produce high-resolution climate information at regional to local scales. Current models, while adequate for describing temperature distributions at relatively small scales, struggle when it comes to describing precipitation distributions. In order to better match the distribution of observed precipitation over Norway, we consider approaches to statistical adjustment of the output from a regional climate model when forced with ERA-40 reanalysis boundary conditions. As a second step, we try to correct downscalings of historical climate model runs using these transformations built from downscaled ERA-40 data. Unless such calibrations are successful, it is difficult to argue that scenario-based downscaled climate projections are realistic and useful for decision makers. We study both full quantile calibrations and several different methods that correct individual quantiles separately using random field models. Results based on cross-validation show that while a full quantile calibration is not very effective in this case, one can correct individual quantiles satisfactorily if the spatial structure in the data are accounted for. Interestingly, different methods are favoured depending on whether ERA-40 data or historical climate model runs are adjusted.

  Climate change will affect the insurance industry. We develop a Bayesian hierarchical statistical approach to explain and predict insurance losses due to weather events at a local geographic scale. The number of weather-related insurance claims is modelled by combining generalized linear models with spatially smoothed variable selection. Using Gibbs sampling and reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, this model is fitted on daily weather and insurance data from each of the 319 municipalities which constitute southern and central Norway for the period 1997–2006. Precise out-of-sample predictions validate the model. Our results show interesting regional patterns in the effect of different weather covariates. In addition to being useful for insurance pricing, our model can be used for short-term predictions based on weather forecasts and for long-term predictions based on downscaled climate models.

  Infectious salmon anemia (ISA) is one of the main infectious diseases in Atlantic salmon farming with major economical implications. Despite the strong regulatory interventions, the ISA epidemic is not under control, worldwide. We study the data covering salmon farming in Norway from 2002 to 2005 and propose a stochastic space-time model for the transmission of the virus. We model seaway transmission between farm sites, transmission through shared management and infrastructure, biomass effects and other potential pathways within the farming industry. We find that biomass has an effect on infectiousness, the local contact network and seaway distance of 5 km represent similar risks, but a large component of risk originates from other sources, among which are possibly infected salmon smolt and boat traffic.

  Objective: Missing values are common in FFQs used in large epidemiological studies and must be handled when calculating energy intake. We compare results from different methods for substituting/imputing missing values using NOWAC data. Methods: A FFQ was mailed twice (test-retest) to 1995 women aged 46-75 y from the NOWAC cohort in a reproducibility study (75% response). Missing answers in the test were imputed as follows: 1. Frequencies=0 (null intake) and portion sizes=smallest 2. Mode values 3. Median values 4. Retest values. Remaining missing values were treated as in method 1 5. K-nearest neighbors imputation using a weighted average of the values for the same question from the K=10 most similar respondents within the same dataset. Results: After imputation of the test FFQ (17% missing data) with the different methods, estimated mean energy intake (MJ/day) with 95% CI was: 1. 6.43 (6.34, 6.53) 2. 6.92 (6.83, 7.01) 3. 7.16 (7.06, 7.25) 4. 6.93 (6.84, 7.03) 5. 7.52 (7.42, 7.62) Conclusion: Exclusion is not practical when most respondents have missing values. However, the calculated energy intake is influenced by the imputation method. Treating missing as null intake may not be correct for all foods and may lead to underestimation of energy intake.

  Objective: Missing values are common in self-administered FFQs used in large epidemiological studies and must be handled when calculating energy and nutrient intake. We compare results from different methods for substituting/imputing missing values using data from the Norwegian Women and Cancer study (NOWAC). We include K-nearest neighbors imputation (KNNimpute). This is a widely used method for missing entries in cDNA microarray data, but is here extended and adapted to FFQ data, which is new to our knowledge. Methods: A FFQ designed to assess habitual diet was mailed twice (test-retest 3 months apart) to a random sample of 1995 women aged 46-75 y from the NOWAC cohort as part of a reproducibility study (75% response). A total of 126 questions were included in the dietary intake calculations. Missing answers to consumption frequencies and portion sizes in the test FFQ were imputed before the calculations using the following methods: 1. Frequencies=0 (null intake) and portion sizes=smallest for a conservative estimate 2. The mode value 3. The median value 4. Non-missing values in the retest. Remaining missing values were treated as in method 1 5. KNNimpute using a weighted average of the values for the same question from the K=10 most similar respondents within the same dataset (test). Similarity is evaluated from the closeness of responses to the other FFQ questions. Results: In the test FFQ 17% of the data matrix was missing. Among respondents (n=1495) 95% had ≥1 missing answer. After imputation with retest values (method 4), 10% of the data was still missing and treated as in method 1. The estimated mean energy intake (MJ/day) with 95% CI after imputation according to the different methods was: 1. 6.43 (6.34, 6.53) for null intake and the smallest portion 2. 6.92 (6.83, 7.01) for mode 3. 7.16 (7.06, 7.25) for median 4. 6.93 (6.84, 7.03) for retest 5. 7.52 (7.42, 7.62) for KNNimpute Conclusion: Exclusion is not practical when most respondents have missing values. However, the calculated energy intake is influenced by the imputation method used. Missing is frequently handled as null intake, but this may not be correct for all foods. This is indicated by the increase in energy when missing is imputed by the other methods, including the retest values from the same respondents 3 months later. KNNimpute gave the highest energy intake, and will be investigated further.
