Analytic posteriors for Pearson's correlation coefficient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pearson's correlation is one of the most common measures of linear dependence. Recently, Bernardo (11th International Workshop on Objective Bayes Methodology, 2015) introduced a flexible class of priors to study this measure in a Bayesian setting. For this large class of priors, we show that the (marginal) posterior for Pearson's correlation coefficient and all of the posterior moments are analytic. Our results are available in the open-source software package JASP.

متن کاملColocalization analysis in fluorescence micrographs: verification of a more accurate calculation of pearson's correlation coefficient.
One of the most routine uses of fluorescence microscopy is colocalization, i.e., the demonstration of a relationship between pairs of biological molecules. Frequently this is presented simplistically by the use of overlays of red and green images, with areas of yellow indicating colocalization of the molecules. Colocalization data are rarely quantified and can be misleading. Our results from bo...
متن کاملPearson's correlation coefficient in the theory of networks: A comment
In statistics, the Pearson correlation coefficient rx,y determines the degree of linear correlation between two variables and it is known that −1 ≤ rx,y ≤ 1. In the theory of networks, a curious expression proposed in [PRL 89 208701 (2002)] for degree-degree correlation coefficient rji,ki , i ∈ [1,M ] has been in use. We realize that the suggested form is the conventional Pearson’s coefficient ...
متن کاملA Centroid Based Correlation Coefficient of Fuzzy Numbers
Classic methods have been well reported to measure the correlation coefficient of crisp observed data. However, the uncertainty in the real world sometimes makes crisp data unavailable, especially for linguistic variables. Under this situation, fuzzy numbers are often involved in the observed data, but classic statistical methods cannot be directly used to calculate the correlation coefficient ...
