ANALYSIS ON STRONG MOTION INDICES RELEVANT TO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE USING RANK CORRELATION COEFFICIENT

Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient

Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Coefficient

• In this lesson, we will learn how to measure the coefficient of correlation for two sets of ranking. • The coefficient of correlation, r, measures the strength of association or correlation between two sets of data that can be measured. Sometimes, the data is not measurable but can only be ordered, as in ranking. • For example, two students can be asked to rank toast, cereals, and dim sum in ...

The Kendall Rank Correlation Coefficient

The Kendall (1955) rank correlation coefficient evaluates the degree of similarity between two sets of ranks given to a same set of objects. This coefficient depends upon the number of inversions of pairs of objects which would be needed to transform one rank order into the other. In order to do so, each rank order is represented by the set of all pairs of objects (e.g., [a,b] and [b,a] are the...

Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of Pile Foundation Subjected to Strong Ground Motion Using Fiber Elements

In this paper, pile behavior embedded in layered soil deposits subjected to seismic loadings is analyzed using a nonlinear fiber element for simulation of soil – pile interactions. In the created model, both pile and surrounding soil are modeled using fiber elements in a practical Beam on Nonlinear Winkler Foundation (BNWF) concept. Herein, the features of DRAIN–3DX finite element software are ...

A Prominent Analysis on Head Phantom Image using Correlation Coefficient

2D projections of the real 3D space are the only available information in the imaging technics like in XRay and MRI. In this paper we study projections of images as generated by Radon transformation. We implemented an image reconstruction algorithm which receives different projections of the original image as input. We performed this experiment using artificially created image in order to test ...
