Codifference can detect ergodicity breaking and non-Gaussianity
We show that the codifference is a useful tool in studying the ergodicity breaking and non-Gaussianity properties of stochastic time series. While the codifference is a measure of dependence that was previously studied mainly in the context of stable ...

Searching With Measurement Dependent Noise [PDF]
Consider a target moving at a constant velocity on a unit-circumference circle, starting at an arbitrary location. To acquire the target, any region of the circle can be probed to obtain a noisy measurement of the target's presence, where the noise level increases with the size of the probed region.

Plug-in Estimation of Dependence Characteristics of Archimedean Copula via Bézier Curve
This article introduces measurement of the dependence between variables with a dependence structure defined by Archimedean copulas. The estimation of the dependence measure, such as Kendall’s tau as well as the lower and upper tail dependence, is ...

Income Distribution Dependence of Poverty Measure: A Theoretical Analysis [PDF]
With a new deprivation (or poverty) function, in this paper, we theoretically study the changes in poverty with respect to the `global' mean and variance of the income distribution using Indian survey data. We show that when the income obeys a log-normal

Hidden Markov Models as a Tool for the Assessment of Dependence of Phenomena of Economic Nature
The assessment of dependence between time series is a common dilemma, which is often solved by the use of the Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Unfortunately, sometimes, the results may be highly misleading.

Dependence Estimation and Visualization in Multivariate Extremes with Applications to Financial Data [PDF]
We investigate extreme dependence in a multivariate setting with special emphasis on financial applications. We introduce a new dependence function which allows us to capture the complete extreme dependence structure and present a nonparametric ...

A Class of Association Measures for Categorical Variables Based on Weighted Minkowski Distance
Measuring and testing association between categorical variables is one of the long-standing problems in multivariate statistics. In this paper, I define a broad class of association measures for categorical variables based on weighted Minkowski distance.

Dependence measure for length-biased survival data using copulas
The linear correlation coefficient of Bravais-Pearson is considered a powerful indicator when the dependency relationship is linear and the error variate is normally distributed.

Executive Functions in Tobacco Dependence: Importance of Inhibitory Capacities. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Executive functions are linked to tobacco dependence and craving. In this cross-sectional study, we assessed the impact of three executive functions: updating, inhibition and shifting processes on tobacco craving and dependence.

Measurable Sensitivity for Semi-Flows
Sensitive dependence on initial conditions is a crucial characteristic of chaos. The concept of measurable sensitivity (MS) was introduced as a measure-theoretic version of sensitive dependence on initial conditions.
