Simulation studies show that the biweight midcorrelation is more robust than the Pearson correlation but often more powerful than the Spearman correlation.
This is because RandomForests is more suitable than SVM for data with discrete features and is more powerful in handling correlations between features.
It is notable that both MinP-val and SumP-val achieved greater power than the more powerful underlying test for lower correlation.
Instead, including both the instantaneous and causal terms from our model will be more powerful than Pearson's correlation because it conveys purer estimates of both types of interactions.
It is necessary that the basic research on raised TSH causing PTC in HT patients should be done in the future, which could provide more powerful evidence for the correlation of HT and PTC.
Moreover, lack of significant association of children's nutritional status with other known factors could be attributed to the analytical approach employed in this study, xtlogit (logistic regression for panel data), which is more powerful in controlling the correlation between the variables of the study [ 40].
Also, sequence analysis using Bayesian path prediction is more powerful than the currently used correlation analysis.
When pleiotropic effect is present, bivariate analysis is more powerful than univariate analysis unless the residual correlation is high and in the same direction to the correlation of major gene effect, coinciding with the findings in linkage studies [27].
As regards the analyses that accommodate baseline imbalance, ANCOVA is unconditionally more powerful than CSA, especially at lower ZY correlations [ 33].
Several authors have improved this method to make it more powerful, however most do not take into account the correlation between the tests [ 7- 11].
