A Monte Carlo Study Of The Effects Of Variability And Outliers On The Linear Correlation Coefficient, Hussein Yousif Eledum
A Monte Carlo Study Of The Effects Of Variability And Outliers On The Linear Correlation Coefficient, Hussein Yousif Eledum
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Monte Carlo simulations are used to investigate the effect of two factors, the amount of variability and an outlier, on the size of the Pearson correlation coefficient. Some simulation algorithms are developed, and two theorems for increasing or decreasing the amount of variability are suggested.
Multivariate Rank Outlyingness And Correlation Effects, Olusola Samuel Makinde
Multivariate Rank Outlyingness And Correlation Effects, Olusola Samuel Makinde
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The effect of correlation on multivariate rank outlyingness, a result of deviation of multivariate rank functions from property of spherical symmetry, is examined. Possible affine invariant versions of this multivariate rank are surveyed, and outlyingness of affine invariant and non-invariant spatial rank functions under general affine transformation are compared.
Control Charts For Mean For Non-Normally Correlated Data, J. R. Singh, Ab Latif Dar
Control Charts For Mean For Non-Normally Correlated Data, J. R. Singh, Ab Latif Dar
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Traditionally, quality control methodology is based on the assumption that serially-generated data are independent and normally distributed. On the basis of these assumptions the operating characteristic (OC) function of the control chart is derived after setting the control limits. But in practice, many of the basic industrial variables do not satisfy both the assumptions and hence one may doubt the validity of the inferences drawn from the control charts. In this paper the power of the control chart for the mean is examined when both the assumptions of independence and normality are not tenable. The OC function is calculated and …
