Example sentences for: spearman

How can you use “spearman” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The following clustering algorithms were used: seven hierarchical clustering methods (single linkage, average linkage, complete linkage, Ward's minimum variance, density linkage, centroid, and flexible-beta), a k-mean method, and an oblique principle component method employing either (1) Pearson correlation or (2) Spearman correlation based on rank.

  • PCA, Spearman's rank correlations, quadratic regression classification and cross-validation were programmed in MatLab release 12.

  • Spearman's rank order correlation determined significant monotonic relationships that illuminate important connections between structural features in tissue elements and genes that have been reported as significantly up- or downregulated by CCl 4 treatment in previous studies [ 7 ] . Principal component analysis (PCA), as described in Materials and methods, was carried out to reduce the complexity of the data [ 15 ] and then to relate individual animals to specific phenotypic groups.

  • Using Spearman's rank order correlation (see Materials and methods), we tested for monotonic functional relationships between gene-expression values and tissue features.

  • To determine if modeling the correlation structure specific to RSS improves RSS recognition and evaluation, we compared the RIC models with models that assume RSS positions are independent (order zero Markov models, WM0 ) and models that assume adjacent positions are correlated (order one Markov models, WM1 ). In general we find that, while all models predict RSS function equally well, with Spearman's rank correlation coefficients around 0.81 for 12-RSS and 0.88 for 23-RSS, the RIC models are better at discriminating between RSS and non-RSS segments.
