Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Le tau de Kendall et deux variantes pour mesurer la cohérence de variation entre deux séries ordinales, leurs propriétés et leurs valeurs critiques "honnêtes" [PDF]
A measure of the consistency of variation in a bivariate series of ordinal data, Kendall's tau (\tau) has properties and exhibits distributional characteristics that are distinct from Pearson's r, each coefficient deserving its own interpretation.

Interpreting Kendall’s Tau and Tau-U for single-case experimental designs
Tau (τ), a nonparametric rank order correlation statistic, has been applied to single-case experimental designs with promising results. Tau-U, a family of related coefficients, partitions variance associated with changes in trend and level.

Copula Structure Analysis Based on Robust and Extreme Dependence Measures [PDF]
In this paper we extend the standard approach of correlation structure analysis in order to reduce the dimension of highdimensional statistical data. The classical assumption of a linear model for the distribution of a random vector is replaced by the ...
