Towards a Robust Rank Correlation Measure for Numerical Observations on the Basis of Fuzzy Orderings
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims to demonstrate that established rank correlation measures are not ideally suited for measuring rank correlation for numerical data that are perturbed by noise. We propose a robust rank correlation measure on the basis of fuzzy orderings. The superiority of the new measure is demonstrated by means of illustrative examples.

Robust Rank Correlation Coefficients on the Basis of Fuzzy Orderings: Initial Steps
The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that established rank correlation measures are not ideally suited for measuring rank correlation for numerical data that are perturbed by noise. We propose to use robust rank correlation measures based on fuzzy orderings. We demonstrate that the new measures overcome the robustness problems of existing rank correlation coefficients. As a first step, this...
متن کاملWeighted Rank Correlation: A Flexible Approach Based on Fuzzy Order Relations
Measures of rank correlation are commonly used in statistics to capture the degree of concordance between two orderings of the same set of items. Standard measures like Kendall’s tau and Spearman’s rho coefficient put equal emphasis on each position of a ranking. Yet, motivated by applications in which some of the positions (typically those on the top) are more important than others, a few weig...
متن کاملTesting noisy numerical data for monotonic association
Rank correlation measures are intended to measure to which extent there is a monotonic association between two observables. While they are mainly designed for ordinal data, they are not ideally suited for noisy numerical data. In order to better account for noisy data, a family of rank correlation measures has previously been introduced that replaces classical ordering relations by fuzzy relati...
متن کاملNonparametric Shewhart-type Quality Control Charts in Fuzzy Environment
Nonparametric control charts are presented in order to figure out the problem of detecting changes in the process median (or mean), or changes in the variability process where there is limited knowledge regarding the underlying process. When observations are reported imprecise, then it is impossible to use classical nonparametric control charts. This paper is devoted to the problem of c...
متن کاملFuzzy Robust Regression Analysis with Fuzzy Response Variable and Fuzzy Parameters Based on the Ranking of Fuzzy Sets
Robust regression is an appropriate alternative for ordinal regression when outliers exist in a given data set. If we have fuzzy observations, using ordinal regression methods can't model them; In this case, using fuzzy regression is a good method. When observations are fuzzy and there are outliers in the data sets, using robust fuzzy regression methods are appropriate alternatives....
