Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient

on the relationship between using discourse markers and the quality of expository and argumentative academic writing of iranian english majors

the aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency and the type of discourse markers used in the argumentative and expository writings of iranian efl learners and the differences between these text features in the two essay genres. the study also aimed at examining the influence of the use of discourse markers on the participants’ writing quality. to this end the discourse markers us...

The Spearman and Kendall rank correlation coefficients between intuitionistic fuzzy sets

This paper is a continuation of our previous work on Pearson’s coefficient r and we discuss here the concept of the Spearman correlation coefficient and the Kendall correlation coefficient between Atanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs, for short) to measure the degree of association between the A-IFSs when the assumption that the data distributions are normal is not valid or when data a...

Influence functions of the Spearman and Kendall correlation measures

Nonparametric correlation estimators as the Kendall and Spearman correlation are widely used in the applied sciences. They are often said to be robust, in the sense of being resistant to outlying observations. In this paper we formally study their robustness by means of their influence functions and gross-error sensitivities. Since robustness of an estimator often comes at the price of an incre...

Online Ranking: Discrete Choice, Spearman Correlation and Other Feedback

Given a set V of n objects, an online ranking system outputs at each time step a full ranking of the set, observes a feedback of some form and suffers a loss. We study the setting in which the (adversarial) feedback is an element in V , and the loss is the position (0th, 1st, 2nd...) of the item in the outputted ranking. More generally, we study a setting in which the feedback is a subset U of ...
