Title The Phi - coefficient , the Tetrachoric Correlation Coefficient , and the Pearson - Yule Debate

Two measures of association for dichotomous variables, the phi-coefficient and the tetrachoric correlation coefficient, are reviewed and differences between the two are discussed in the context of the famous so-called Pearson-Yule debate, that took place in the early 20th century. The two measures of association are given mathematically rigorous definitions, their underlying assumptions are for...

Revisiting Clopper-Pearson

This paper adds one more contribution to the large literature on binomial confidence intervals for small samples (e.g., Clopper and Pearson 1934; Pearson and Hartley 1954; Sterne 1954; Crow 1956; Blyth and Still 1983; Blyth 1986; Santner and Duffy 1989; Agresti and Coull 1998; Henderson and Meyer 2001). Clopper and Peason (1934) gave the first two-sided binomial confidence intervals, in graphic...

In this paper, we present a theory of synchronous data-ow languages. Our theory is supported by both some heuristic analysis of applications and some theoretical investigation of the data-ow paradigm. Our model covers both behavioural and operational aspects, and allows both synchronous and asynchronous styles of implementation for synchronous programs. This model served as a basis to establish...

Pearson Codes Jos

The Pearson distance has been advocated for improving the error performance of noisy channels with unknown gain and offset. The Pearson distance can only fruitfully be used for sets of codewords, called Pearson codes, that satisfy specific properties. We will analyze constructions and properties of Pearson codes.
