چکیده

Correlation is an important and widely used concept, and it is usually taught through word explanation or graphic description accompaniedwith a numericmeasure if such ameasure exists. In this note, we explore graphing one of the commonly used correlation measures, Kendall’s , in such a way that we display how Kendall’s is calculated and see how Kendall’s is influenced by data features. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Estimation of Kendall's tau from censored data

This paper considers the nonparametric estimation of Kendall's tau for bivariate censored data. Under censoring, there have been some papers discussing the nonparametric estimation of Kendall's tau, such as Wang and Wells (2000), Oakes (2008) and Lakhal, Rivest and Beaudoin (2009). In this article, we consider an alternative approach to estimate Kendall's tau. The main idea is to replace a cens...

Optimal Permutation Codes and the Kendall's $\tau$-Metric

The rank modulation scheme has been proposed for efficient writing and storing data in non-volatile memory storage. Error-correction in the rank modulation scheme is done by considering permutation codes. In this paper we consider codes in the set of all permutations on n elements, Sn, using the Kendall's τ-metric. We will consider either optimal codes such as perfect codes or concepts related ...

Spatial and Temporal Changes in Subtidal Benthic Crustaceans Along a Coastal River-Estuarine Gradient in Mississippi

Benthic crustaceans were collected monthly between 24 August 1985 and 20 September 1986 from tidal freshwater (TFW), oligohaline (OH) and mesohaline (h4H) sites in Old Fort Bayou, a black-water tidal river of the Biloxi Bay estuary, Mississippi. Salinity varied seasonally and spatially and was primarily related to variations in rainfall during this study. Reduced rainfall after October 1985 res...

SEQUENTIAL CONFIDENCE INTERVAL FOR TIlE REGRESSION COEFFICIENT

SUMMARY The object of the present investigation is to consider a robust procedure for the problem of providing a bounded-length confidence interval for the regression coefficient (in a simple regression model) based on Kendall's (1955) tau. The problem of estimating the difference in the location parameters in the two-sample case may be viewed as a special case of our problem. It is shown that ...

Model quality assessment using distance constraints from alignments.

Given a set of alternative models for a specific protein sequence, the model quality assessment (MQA) problem asks for an assignment of scores to each model in the set. A good MQA program assigns these scores such that they correlate well with real quality of the models, ideally scoring best that model which is closest to the true structure. In this article, we present a new approach for addres...
