An overview of how I developed statistical models for understanding the properties of recycled coal fly ash. Below is a data visualisation example from the analysis: A regression tree predicting solar absorptance

In the process of publishing the manuscript Effect of temperature and atmosphere on the optical, thermal, and structural properties of fly ash particles I built a plethora of statistical models. The manuscript essetially asks: “Can higher temperatures or inert gas atmospheres improve the usablity of fly ash for concentrated solar power?” (yes it can) My statistical modeling explores the data farther, asking: “What set of conditions can be combined to make the best possible fly ash substrate for concentrated solar power?”

I am including a abbreviated report on some of the modeling procedures here: Modeling the Properties of Fly Ash Particles
