Pearson’s Correlation Tests (Simulation)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Pearson correlation coefficient, ρ (rho), is a popular statistic for describing the strength of the relationship between two variables. It is the slope of the regression line between two variables when both variables have been standardized by subtracting their means and dividing by their standard deviations. The correlation ranges between plus and minus one. The population correlation ρ is estimated by the sample correlation coefficient r.

Generalized Measures of Correlation
Applicability of Pearson’s correlation as a measure of explained variance is by now well understood. One of its limitations is that it does not account for asymmetry in explained variance. Aiming to develop broad applicable correlation measures, we propose a pair of generalized measures of correlation (GMC) which deal with asymmetries in explained variances, and linear or nonlinear relations be...
متن کاملJackknife Empirical Likelihood Goodness-of-fit Tests for Vector U-statistics
Motivated by applications to goodness of fit U-statistic testing, the jackknife empirical likelihood (Jing, et al. [14]) is justified with an alternative approach and the Wilks theorems for vector U-statistics are proved. This generalizes Owen’s empirical likelihood for vectors to vector U statistics and includes the JEL for U-statistics with side information as a special case. The results are ...
متن کاملtestforDEP: An R Package for distribution-free tests and visualization tools for independence
This article introduces testforDEP, a portmanteau R package containing several tests and visualization tools to examine independence between two variables. This new package combines classical tests including Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient method, Kendall’s τ rank correlation coefficient method and Spearman’s ρ rank correlation coefficient method with modern tests consisting of...
متن کاملTowards a Localized Version of Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient
Pearson’s correlation coefficient is used to describe dependence between random variables X and Y . In some practical situations, however, we have strong correlation for some values X and/or Y and no correlation for other values ofX and Y . To describe such a local dependence, we come up with a natural localized version of Pearson’s correlation coefficient. We also study the properties of the n...
متن کاملRunning Head: CORRELATION WITH NON-NORMAL DATA 1 Testing the Significance of a Correlation with Non-normal Data: Comparison of Pearson, Spearman, Transformation, and Resampling Approaches
It is well known that when data are non-normally distributed, a test of the significance of Pearson's r may inflate Type I error rates and reduce power. Statistics textbooks and the simulation literature provide several alternatives to Pearson’s correlation. However, the relative performance of these alternatives has been unclear. Two simulation studies were conducted to compare 12 methods, inc...
