The MVPLN specification allows for a more general correlation structure as well as overdispersion.
Around 30% of adults here are reckoned to be in full-time education, which in tandem with the turnout figures underlines two things: that students form a very transient part of the population, and that there is a more general correlation between voting and age.
Zeldovich numbers are derived to express the effect of temperature on the mass burning rate and from this, a more general correlation of burning velocity, based on theoretical arguments, is presented for methane air mixtures.
256 (2014), 61 70], and the main improvements concern the use of: (1) a new wall boundary condition for the solid phase (2) a more general correlation for the viscosity of the mixture, which allows accounting for particle shape; (3) a different solution algorithm, which reduces significantly the already low computational burden.
This point was noted by Hamilton himself in the 1970s: he stressed that the coefficient of relationship of his 1964 papers should really be replaced with a more general correlation coefficient, which reflects the probability that altruist and recipient share genes, whether because of kinship or not (Hamilton 1970 , 1972 1975).
These are more general than correlations, which are pairwise measures, and lack a clear interpretation beyond the bivariate normal distribution.
The resulting metrics are more general than correlations, which are pairwise measures only and lack a parametric interpretation beyond the bivariate normal distribution (e.g., Lewontin 1988), especially when associations are non-linear or when pairs of variables are neither independent nor identically distributed.
He called this more general technique "correlation".
Note however, that this statistical dependency is more complicated than the linear Pearson or the more general Spearman correlation.
