Partial Correlation Estimates Based on Signs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the Oja sign covariance matrix (Oja SCM) for estimating partial correlations in multivariate data. The Oja SCM estimates directly a multiple of the precision matrix and is based on the concept of Oja signs, which generalise the univariate sign function and obey some form of affine equivariance property. We compare it to the classical MLE as well as to estimates based on two alternative multivariate signs: the marginal sign and the spatial sign.

Modeling the Surface Tension and the Interface of Ten Selected Liquid Mixtures: Correlation, Prediction, and the Influence of Using Partial Molar Volume
This work investigates the modeling of the surface tension and the interface of liquid mixtures. Nine binary liquid mixtures of (DMSO+alcohols), (2-Propanol+2,2,4-trimethylpentane), (Tetrahydrofuran+2-Propanol), (Tetrahydrofuran+2,2,4-trimethylpentane), and (ethano+glycerol) are considered. Additionally, one ternary liquid mixture of (Tetrahydrofuran+2-Propanol+2,2,4-trimethylpenta...
متن کاملA binless correlation measure reduces the variability of memory reactivation estimates.
The standard procedure for measuring correlations between pairs of spike trains is to count the numbers of spikes occurring within a specified set of time intervals partitioning the continuous time line into discrete bins of width w (seconds). One then computes the Pearson correlation between pairs of the bin occupancy vectors. This method introduces a form of quantization noise, similar to tha...
متن کاملA case report of partial bilateral hind limb adactyly in a male lamb
Hemimelia as a congenital anomaly is a failure of development of extremities formation in embryonic period. This anomaly is defined as complete absence of the part of extremities and different forms were explained for hemimelia. Adactyly is an alternative name for transverse hemimelia and is a rare disorder in the most of animal species. A two months old male lamb with normal vital signs was re...

Diallel analysis was used to estimate the combining ability, gene action, gene number, heritabilties and other genetic parameters of a set of wheat genotypes. For this purpose, nine parents and their 36 crosses were evaluated for 9 traits in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 1996. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all genotypes for all ...
