Estimates of the Regression Coefficient Based on Kendall's Tau
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and robust estimator of regression coefficient β based on Kendall's rank correlation tau is studied, where the point estimator is the median of the set of slopes (Yj - Yi )/(tj-ti ) joining pairs of points with ti ≠ ti.

Google Earth Engine: Planetary-scale geospatial analysis for everyone
TL;DR: Google Earth Engine is a cloud-based platform for planetary-scale geospatial analysis that brings Google's massive computational capabilities to bear on a variety of high-impact societal issues including deforestation, drought, disaster, disease, food security, water management, climate monitoring and environmental protection.
Monitoring Vegetation Systems in the Great Plains with Erts
TL;DR: In this paper, a method has been developed for quantitative measurement of vegetation conditions over broad regions using ERTS-1 spectral bands 5 and 7, corrected for sun angle, which is shown to be correlated with aboveground green biomass on rangelands.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new measure of rank correlation
TL;DR: Rank correlation as mentioned in this paper is a measure of similarity between two rankings of the same set of individuals, and it has been used in psychological work to compare two different rankings of individuals in order to indicate similarity of taste.
