Multi-Panel Kendall Plot in Light of an ROC Curve Analysis Applied to Measuring Dependence

Albert Vexler, Georgios Afendras, Marianthi Markatou

The Kendall plot ($\K$-plot) is a plot measuring dependence between the components of a bivariate random variable. The $\K$-plot graphs the Kendall distribution function against th…

The out-of-source error in multi-source cross validation-type procedures

Georgios Afendras, Marianthi Markatou

A scientific phenomenon under study may often be manifested by data arising from processes, i.e. sources, that may describe this phenomenon. In this contex of multi-source data, we…
