Some studies used correlation analysis to shed light on the scale of correlation between the various dimensions used in ROSE (Gafoor and Smitha 2012).
To assess expression conservation, we would suggest the use of correlations instead of Euclidean distance because 1) they show agreements between different computational models; 2) unlike Euclidian distance, the scale of correlation ([−1, 1]) is not affected by different degrees of freedom.
Additionally, the scale of correlation coefficients RCT and RTN is in the same scale of h-values.
In fact, to characterize the scale of correlations perpendicular to the growing direction, the correlation frequency can be used.
In Figure 1(c), the scaling of correlation with elevation at is further provided.
LIQUID employs several parameters for the calculation of pharmacophore models: cluster radius for hydrogen-bond acceptor, donor and lipophilic clusters and scaling of correlation vectors (no scaling, block scaling to range [0,1], and vector scaling to range [0,1]).
The PMFG is not a threshold network, and we consider it here because threshold methods might not be able to take into account the heterogeneity of similarities, or influences, that are typically present at different scales of correlation in complex systems.
It was found that the e-folding scales of correlations were 30.8, 7.5, and 4.8 km for the rain-free, weak rain, and heavy rain areas, respectively.
However, we believe that indications on possible linkages and time scales of correlations can be extracted from the present simulations.
The tissue refractive index correlation function has recently been modeled by the Whittle-Matern correlation function, which contains 3 variables: the deterministic factor D, the length scale of the correlation lc, and the scaling factor Nc.
Overall satisfaction and overall experiences were moderately to strongly correlated to the scales (range of correlation coefficients, 0.24 0.59), with all correlations significant at the p<0.001 level.
