Tests for dependence of continuous, discrete and mixed continuous-discrete variables are ubiquitous in science. The goal of this paper is to derive Bayesian alternatives to frequentist null hypothesis significance tests for dependence. In particular, we will present three Bayesian tests for dependence of binary, continuous and mixed variables. These tests are nonparametric and based on the...

Comment l'infirmier/ère peut-il/elle construire une relation interpersonnelle de qualité avec des personnes vivant un sentiment de dépendance ? : travail de Bachelor

Xhymshiti, Laura ; Jordan, Virginie ; Fournier, Frédéric (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de santé Genève, 2014.

Ce travail a été réalisé par deux étudiantes en soins infirmiers dans le cadre de leur travail de Bachelor. Cette thématique a pour but de relever différentes stratégies utiles à la construction d’une relation interpersonnelle de qualité soignant-soigné et plus particulièrement avec les personnes souffrant d’addictions. Les deux étudiantes ont pour cela recensé plusieurs...

Local preferential attachment model for hierarchical networks

Wang, Li-Na ; Guo, Jin-Li ; Yang, Han-Xin ; Zhou, Tao

In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2009, vol. 388, no. 8, p. 1713-1720

A railway transportation system can be represented by a bipartite network consisting of trains and stations, where a train is connected to all stations where it stops. In this paper, motivated by the resource-allocation process taking place on networks, we design a method to project a Chinese train-station bipartite network into a weighted station network. A new metric is proposed to quantify the...
