Published data have suggested a correlation between antifungal prophylaxis and bacteremia in febrile neutropenia. This correlation was investigated among 3002 febrile neutropenic patients enrolled in 4 trials during 1986-1994. Globally, 1322 patients (44%) did not receive antifungal prophylaxis; 835 (28%) received poorly absorbable antifungal agents and 845 (28%) received absorbable antifungal ...

Industrial process signals do affect one other. However, causal dependencies, or correlation, and thereby consequences of control actions cannot always be understood by the operator, which may lead to accidents. Models explain dependencies and are mostly built on process knowledge and blueprints, while causalities are visible in the measurements and ought to be used to increase process understa...

Although it is well known that cross correlation can be efficiently implemented in the transform domain, the normalized form of cross correlation preferred for feature matching applications does not have a simple frequency domain expression. Normalized cross correlation has been computed in the spatial domain for this reason. This short paper shows that unnormalized cross correlation can be eff...

Approximation of acoustic Green’s functions through cross-correlation of acoustic signals in the ocean is a relatively young field that has become an area of interest over the past few years. Although the amplitudes of these estimates generally differ from those of the true Green’s Function, the estimated arrival structure can be highly accurate. Interhydrophone travel times extracted from thes...

This paper analyses the effects of random noise in determining errors and confidence levels for galaxy redshifts obtained by cross-correlation techniques. The main finding is that confidence levels have previously been overestimated, and errors inaccurately calculated in certain applications. New formulae are presented.

Herein, the interand intra-site correlation properties of shadow fading and power-weighted angular spread at both the mobile station and the base station are studied utilizing narrow band multi-site MIMO measurements in the 1800MHz band. The influence of the distance between two base stations on the correlation is studied in an urban environment. Measurements have been conducted for two differe...

In the vehicle communication system, transferred information is needed to be detected as possible as fast in order to avoid car accident and inform the road traffic fast. Fast communication defines that timing synchronization is detected fast. In this paper, we present combination method which can determine synchronization timing of frame is executed by auto-correlation and cross correlation si...

A reliable measure is one we can trust in the long run. Thus, the reliability of measurements is as important as their validity. Here we investigated the reliability of brain electrical visual evoked responses to faces and noise textures. For the first time, we provide reliability measures for the full time course of event-related potentials (ERPs). Our analyses were also performed on a R(2)(t)...

We analyse the temporal changes in the cross correlations of returns on the New York Stock Exchange. We show that lead-lag relationships between daily returns of stocks vanished in less than twenty years. We have found that even for high frequency data the asymmetry of time dependent cross-correlation functions has a decreasing tendency, the position of their peaks are shifted towards the origi...

We compute the asymptotics of the sample cross-correlation between two scalar moving averages whose IID innovations have regularly varying probability tails with different tail indices.
