General multivariate periodic wavelets are an efficient tool for the approximation of multidimensional functions, which feature dominant directions of the periodicity. One-dimensional shift invariant spaces and tensor-product wavelets are generalized to multivariate shift invariant spaces on non-tensor-product patterns. In particular, the algebraic properties of the automorphism group are inves...

The convergence rate is analyzed for McCormick relaxations of compositions of the form F ̋ f , where F is a multivariate function, as established by Tsoukalas and Mitsos (JOGO, 59:633-662, 2014). Convergence order in the Hausdorff metric and pointwise convergence order are analyzed. Similar to the convergence order propagation of McCormick univariate composition functions, Bompadre and Mitsos (...

ABSTRACT The term "ipsative" refers to measurement based on intra-individual comparisons. The research literature in the social sciences contains many cautions about using ipsative data in multivariate analysis. The purpose of this paper is to identify the problems associated with the multivariate and regression analyses of ipsative data and to provide recommendations for avoiding these problem...

Correlation measures are a key element of statistics and machine learning, and essential for a wide range of data analysis tasks. Most existing correlation measures are for pairwise relationships, but real-world data can also exhibit complex multivariate correlations, involving three or more variables. We argue that multivariate correlation measures should be comparable, interpretable, scalable...

1. Introduction In many agricultural experiments, generally the data on more than one character is observed. One common example is grain yield and straw yield. The other characters on which the data is generally observed are the plant height, number of green leaves, germination count, etc. The analysis is normally done only on the grain yield and the best treatment is identified on the basis of...

Correlation analysis is one of the key elements of statistics, and has various applications in data analysis. Whereas most existing measures can only detect pairwise correlations between two dimensions, modern analysis aims at detecting correlations in multi-dimensional spaces. We propose MAC, a novel multivariate correlation measure designed for discovering multidimensional patterns. It belong...

It is now common in the mining industry to deal with several correlated attributes, which need to be jointly simulated in order to reproduce their correlations and assess the multivariate grade risk reasonably. Approaches to multivariate simulation which remove the correlation between attributes of interest prior to simulate and then re-impose the relationship afterward have been gaining popula...
