Use of Non-Parametric Approaches on Normality of Hydrologic Variables
Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2018 Parametric approaches in statistical analysis assume that any given data are normally distributed. Therefore, the test of whether this conventional assumption is valid should be made in this context of the available data’s normality before being passed ...

Estimation of population variance using the actual ranks and values: Properties and application
AIP Advances, 2023 Background: Of all measures of variability, the variance is by far the most popular. This paper argues an alternative index of variability, shares many properties with the variance, but can be more informative about the properties of distributions that ...

The connection between non-normality and trophic coherence in directed graphs
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and StatisticsTrophic coherence and non-normality are both ways of describing the overall directionality of directed graphs or networks. Trophic coherence can be regarded as a measure of how neatly a graph can be divided into distinct layers, whereas non-normality is ...

Copula miss-specification in REML multivariate genetic animal model estimation
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022 Background In animal genetics, linear mixed models are used to deal with genetic and environmental effects. The variance and covariance terms of these models are usually estimated by restricted maximum likelihood (REML), which provides unbiased ...

Outcomes of Live Virus Vaccination in Patients With Vascular Anomalies Being Treated With Sirolimus
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Live vaccination in patients with vascular anomalies (VA) receiving sirolimus remains controversial due to immunosuppressive effects and theoretical risks. Procedure This single‐center retrospective study included patients with VA less than 4 years old at the start of sirolimus therapy who were incompletely vaccinated.
