The project will be offline for an estimated one to two hours today, starting 16:00 UTC.

2007-06-14
The server will be down for a few hours later today for maintenance.

2007-06-11
Due to a hardware problem the server was not working properly during the last 36 hours. We're working on this.

We're about to start a new batch of workunits for the mappredictor application. More

Mappredictor 5.20

We're getting ready to run another batch of mappredictor workunits. The first workunits will be sent out starting tomorrow Friday 14th. The new workunits are very short (around 1 min on an avarage PC), mainly because the prediction focus on a much smaller geographical range (see below). Otherwise the same as usual applies for the mappredictor: The application makes use of BOINC's wrapper approach for legacy applications, therefrore there is no checkpointing and no feedback from the application about progress. As usual you can opt out by changing your project preferences.
Here's what the scientists say about the new version:

The purpose of this application is to produce a smooth map of malaria risk in Mali taking into account two important factors:
1) Malaria risk data are correlated in space since common environmental risk factors may influence the malaria risk similarly in locations within the same geographical area. In this application we modeled the spatial correlation as a function of the distance between locations and dependent on locations (non-stationarity).
2) The relation between malaria risk and environmental factors may not be linear; therefore we use non-parametric regression models to quantify this relation.

This application is similar to the previous one (West Africa) and it is used mainly to validate the previous results (compare the two maps of Mali).
