Figures & data

Figure 1. (a) Annual log-transformed EIA and CAMD CO₂ emissions for 210 U.S. power plants. (b) Regression residuals showing a homoscedastic distribution.

Figure 2. Regression of log-transformed CAMD CO₂ emissions against log-transformed EIA CO₂ emissions (cf. Quick, 2014, figure 3).

Figure 3. The relationship between the relative difference and the (a) virtual EIA data set (EIA^v) and (b) the virtual CAMD data set (CAMD^v), constructed by adding incremental values to each EIA^v datum with zero mean and standard deviation of 1.

Figure 4. The relationship between the level of increment variance added to the virtual CAMD data set (x-axis) and the correlation value (y-axis).
