Previous attempts at defining other correlation measures mostly tried to generalize the inner product definition used in Pearson’s correlation coefficient. This does allow for certain useful correlations, like the Greatest Deviation, or Gini’s. In this work the idea in Gideon and Hollister (1987) of seeing correlation as the difference between distance from perfect negative and perfect positive...

background and objectives: life satisfaction is one of the most important indicators for evaluation of mental health status in general population including university students. in this field, the appropriate tool is necessary. so, this study was carried out in order to assess the reliability and validity of the swls in the students of kashan nursing & midwifery faculty (knmf), kashan, iran, in ...

background: occupational stress occurs when job needs do not comply with the abilities, support, and needs of the employee. in addition to negatively affecting the physical and mental health of individuals, occupational stress can reduce their efficiency and productivity in organizations. this paper investigated the rate of job stress and its relation to absenteeism in workers. methods: in this...

Background: The importance of continuous monitoring along with rapid and accurate notification of changes in blood components such as hemoglobin concentration, especially in acute situations, encourages researchers to use non-invasive methods for measuring.Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the correlation between hemoglobin concentration and photoplethysmogram (PPG) and the p...

Correlation coefficients and associated squared values are used as assessment parameters in validation of structure-activity relationships. Seven correlation coefficients were calculated for models that characterized the relationship between chemical structure the herbicidal activity of a triazine analogues series. Three previously reported models were compared by using Pearson (rPrs), Spearman...

In clinical practice, patients' balance can be assessed using standard scales. Two of the most validated clinical tests for measuring balance are the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the MultiDirectional Reach Test (MDRT). Nowadays, inertial sensors (IS) are employed for kinematic analysis of functional tests in the clinical setting, and have become an alternative to expensive, 3D optical motion ...
