RoCoCo - An R Package Implementing a Robust Rank Correlation Coefficient and a Corresponding Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
This document is a user manual for the R package rococo. It is only meant as a gentle introduction into how to use the basic functions implemented in this package. Not all features of the R package are described in full detail. Such details can be obtained from the documentation enclosed in the R package. Further note the following: (1) this is not an introduction to robust rank correlation; (2) this is not an introduction to R. If you lack the background for understanding this manual, you first have to read literature on these subjects.

testforDEP: An R Package for distribution-free tests and visualization tools for independence
This article introduces testforDEP, a portmanteau R package containing several tests and visualization tools to examine independence between two variables. This new package combines classical tests including Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient method, Kendall’s τ rank correlation coefficient method and Spearman’s ρ rank correlation coefficient method with modern tests consisting of...

Purpose: This article is an attempt to determine the share of two types of readings (profession-oriented reading and free reading) which are performed in public libraries. It also tries to show the types of library divisions (circulation, membership, collection, area and library clients) which explain the mentioned reading types. Method: In the present research, which is an applied research w...
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 کاملRobust Cluster Analysis of Microarray Gene Expression Data with the Number of Clusters Determined Biologically
MOTIVATION The success of each method of cluster analysis depends on how well its underlying model describes the patterns of expression. Outlier-resistant and distribution-insensitive clustering of genes are robust against violations of model assumptions. RESULTS A measure of dissimilarity that combines advantages of the Euclidean distance and the correlation coefficient is introduced. The me...
متن کاملMultivariate nonparametrical methods based on spatial signs and ranks: The R package SpatialNP
Classical multivariate statistical inference methods are often based on the sample mean vector and covariance matrix. They are then optimal under the assumption of multivariate normality but loose in efficiency in the case of heavy tailed distribution. In this paper nonparametric and robust competitors based on the spatial signs and ranks are discussed and the R statistical software package to ...
