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

General practitioners’ perceptions of asynchronous telemedicine in a randomized controlled trial of teledermatology. [PDF]
Background: Telemedicine is viewed as having a key role to play in the Government’s plans to modernise the NHS.1 However, to date there are few studies which have explored the views and acceptability of GPs towards telemedicine in primary care. Aim: To

Is Sonographic Assessment of Intratendinous Blood Flow in Achilles Tendinopathy Patients Reliable?
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the consistency between different Doppler ultrasound (DU) modes as well as the intra- and inter-observer reliability of investigators with different experience level in assessing intratendinous blood ...

Distribution-Free Tests of Independence in High Dimensions [PDF]
We consider the testing of mutual independence among all entries in a $d$-dimensional random vector based on $n$ independent observations. We study two families of distribution-free test statistics, which include Kendall's tau and Spearman's rho as ...

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.

Information Entropy Based on Propagation Feature of Node for Identifying the Influential Nodes
For understanding and controlling spreading in complex networks, identifying the most influential nodes, which can be applied to disease control, viral marketing, air traffic control, and many other fields, is of great importance. By taking the effect of

Types of dependence and time-dependent association between two lifetimes in single parameter copula models [PDF]
Most publications on modeling insurance contracts on two lives, assuming dependence of the two lifetimes involved, focus on the time of inception of the contract.

A study of dependency features of spike trains through copulas [PDF]
Simultaneous recordings from many neurons hide important information and the connections characterizing the network remain generally undiscovered despite the progresses of statistical and machine learning techniques.

We study nonparametric estimators of conditional Kendall’s tau, a measure of concordance between two random variables given some covariates. We prove non-asymptotic pointwise and uniform bounds, that hold with high probabilities.
