This paper presents user-friendly SAS macro and SAS programs to check the three parts of a time series: Trend, Cyclical patterns, and Stationarity. The SAS macro KENDALL performs the trend analysis. Seasonal Kendall Trend analysis, including summery statistics; overall Tau and the P-value of the test for trend; monthly Tau values, the corresponding P-values for each month; the Seasonal Kendall ...

This is a paper in 2D projective shape statistical analysis, with an application to face analysis. We test nonparametric methodology for an analysis of shapes of almost planar configurations of landmarks on real scenes from their regular camera pictures. Projective shapes are regarded as points on projective shape manifolds. Using large sample and nonparametric bootstrap methodology for intrins...

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...
