In this paper, we develop a generalized affine model to characterize correlated credit risk of multi-firms. When valuing credit derivatives, this new approach allows to incorporate correlative market and credit risk, interdependent default risk structure and counterparty risk into consideration. We have demonstrated our affine model not only combines the existing structural models and intensity...

Tests of the genetic structure of empirical populations typically focus on the correlative relationships between population connectivity and geographic and/or environmental factors in landscape genetics. However, such tests may overlook or misidentify the impact of candidate factors on genetic structure, especially when connectivity patterns differ between past and present populations because o...

The concept of the correlation between two signals is generalized to the correlative coherence of a set of n signals by introducing a Shannon-Weaver-type measure of the entropy of the normalized eigenvalues of the n-dimensional correlation matrix associated with the set of signals. Properties of this measure are stated for canonical cases. The measure is then used to evaluate which subsets of a...

Several Germanic languages use correlatives to mark subordination. German is considered to be a prime example of a language realizing correlative constructions to embed finite argument clauses. This paper discusses complex clausal constructions in German that can be identified by a so-called correlative nominal element es (‘it’) and a right-peripheral full clausal argument that is linked to es....

Plankton communities play an important role in marine food webs, biogeochemical cycling, and Earth's climate; yet observations are sparse, predictions of how they might respond to climate change vary. Correlative species distribution models (SDM's) have been applied predicting biogeography based on relationships observed environmental variables. To investigate sources uncertainty, we use a corr...

Background: A patient with multiple myeloma developed myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Chromosomal analysis performed after the development of MDS revealed monosomy of chromosome 9 in all the meta-phases. We wished to identify the extent of the clone with the chromosomal abnormality originating from MDS clone. Methods: A correlative interphase study by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) w...

In consideration of physical and chemical properties of pure substances, speed of sound is one of important quantity which can used to calculate many of other thermo-physical properties such as isothermal compressibility, Joule-Thomson coefficient, isobaric heat capacity and etc. These thermo-physical properties are the main parameters in industrial and chemical processes. Development of accura...
