Not a matter of serious contention, Pearson's correlation coefficient is still the most important statistical association measure. Restricted to just two variables, this measure sometimes doesn't live up to users' needs and expectations.…
Background: Current mathematical quantification methods for beam symmetry are highly sensitive to noise, especially in beam profiles with significant variation. Purpose: This study evaluates the accuracy of standard radiotherapy beam…
There are very different statistical methods for demonstrating a trend in pharmacological experiments. Here, the focus is on sparse models with only one parameter to be estimated and interpreted: the increase in the regression model and the…
Noisy labels are ubiquitous in real-world datasets, which poses a challenge for robustly training deep neural networks (DNNs) as DNNs usually have the high capacity to memorize the noisy labels. In this paper, we find that the test accuracy…
When two variables are related by a known function, the coefficient of determination (denoted $R^2$) measures the proportion of the total variance in the observations that is explained by that function. This quantifies the strength of the…
Cross-modal retrieval aims to align different modalities via semantic similarity. However, existing methods often assume that image-text pairs are perfectly aligned, overlooking Noisy Correspondences in real data. These misaligned pairs…
Cosine similarity is an established similarity metric for computing associations on vectors, and it is commonly used to identify related samples from biological perturbational data. The distribution of cosine similarity changes with the…
Pearson's r, the most widely-used correlation coefficient, is traditionally regarded as exclusively capturing linear dependence, leading to its discouragement in contexts involving nonlinear relationships. However, recent research…
The abundance of data produced daily from large variety of sources has boosted the need of novel approaches on causal inference analysis from observational data. Observational data often contain noisy or missing entries. Moreover, causal…
Pearson's is the most common correlation statistic, used mainly in parametric settings. Most common among nonparametric correlation statistics are Spearman's and Kendall's. We show that for bivariate normal i.i.d. samples the pairwise…
Clinical SPECT-MPI images of 345 patients acquired from a dedicated cardiac SPECT in list-mode format were retrospectively employed to predict normal-dose images from low-dose data at the half, quarter, and one-eighth-dose levels. A…
The density estimation is one of the core problems in statistics. Despite this, existing techniques like maximum likelihood estimation are computationally inefficient due to the intractability of the normalizing constant. For this reason an…
The problem of testing changes in covariance has received increasing attention in recent years, especially in the context of high-dimensional testing. A number of approaches have been proposed, all limited to the two-sample problem and…
In this paper, a robust non-parametric measure of statistical dependence, or correlation, between two random variables is presented. The proposed coefficient is a permutation-like statistic that quantifies how much the observed sample S_n :…
In this paper, we review state-of-the-art methods for feature selection in statistics with an application-oriented eye. Indeed, sparsity is a valuable property and the profusion of research on the topic might have provided little guidance…
Through computer simulations, we research several different measures of dependence, including Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients, the maximal correlation, the distance correlation, a function of the mutual information called…
Covariate adjustment is widely recommended to improve statistical efficiency in randomized clinical trials (RCTs), yet empirical evidence comparing available strategies remains limited. This lack of real-world evaluation leaves unresolved…
Under complete linkage disequilibrium (LD), robust tests often have greater power than Pearson's chi-square test and trend tests for the analysis of case-control genetic association studies. Robust statistics have been used in…
Diffusion models offer a robust framework for sampling from unnormalized probability densities, which requires accurately estimating the score of the noise-perturbed target distribution. While the standard Denoising Score Identity (DSI)…
In the field of medical image analysis, deep learning models have demonstrated remarkable success in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. However, the reliability of these models is heavily dependent on the quality of training…
