The average hourly rates for each region in the days before the eruption is similar to the hourly rate in the 3 hours prior to the eruption. While the results certainly indicate a tendency for BSEs to be present at this similar rate in the days prior to an eruption, it is not conclusive evidence at this point. There has been no study of a non-eruptive region in the days before a flare--that, and a more thorough study of the other regions discussed in Colman and Canfield's report would be necessary before having reportable results.
So, after 8 weeks of study, the results are encouraging, but the 7-day average rate is not
statistically significant from zero.
I also attempted to complete a side project.
