• Measure of Correlation between River Flows Using the Copula-Entropy Method (2013, methodology): “The disadvantage of rank-based correlation coefficient is that there is a loss of information when the data are converted to ranks; if the data are normally distributed, it is less powerful than the Pearson correlation coefficient (Gauthier 2001).”
