An Association Test for Multiple Traits Based on the Generalized Kendall’s Tau [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Statistical Association, 2010
In many genetics studies, especially in the investigation of mental illness and behavioral disorders, it is common for researchers to collect multiple phenotypes to characterize the complex disease of interest. It may be advantageous to analyze those phenotypic measurements simultaneously if they share a similar genetic mechanism.

A network centrality method for the rating problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We propose a new method for aggregating the information of multiple reviewers rating multiple products. Our approach is based on the network relations induced between products by the rating activity of the reviewers.

Multiple Ordinal Correlation Based on Kendall’s Tau Measure: A Proposal

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
The joint analysis of various ordinal variables is necessary in many experimental studies within research fields such as sociology and psychology. Therefore, the necessary measures of multiple ordinal dependence must be easy to interpret and facilitate ...

A link between Kendall’s τ, the length measure and the surface of bivariate copulas, and a consequence to copulas with self-similar support

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2023
Working with shuffles, we establish a close link between Kendall’s τ\tau , the so-called length measure, and the surface area of bivariate copulas and derive some consequences.

Early Warning Signals of Financial Crises Using Persistent Homology and Critical Slowing Down: Evidence From Different Correlation Tests

open access: yesFrontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2022
In this study, a new market representation from persistence homology, known as the L1-norm time series, is used and applied independently with three critical slowing down indicators [autocorrelation function at lag 1, variance, and mean for power ...

Validation of clinical frailty scale in Chinese translation

open access: yesBMC Geriatrics, 2022
Background Identification of frailty is crucial to guide patient care for the elderly. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a reliable, synthesis and clinical judgment-based tool. However, a validated Chinese version of CFS (CFS-C) is lacking.

Investigator’s Global Assessment of Chronic Prurigo: A New Instrument for Use in Clinical Trials

open access: yesActa Dermato-Venereologica, 2021
Chronic prurigo is a pruritic disease characterized by the development of pruriginous lesions due to scratching. The number of lesions is representative of the stage of the disease, while the presence of excoriations reflects the scratching activity. Aim
