• On the use of correlation as a measure of network connectivity (2012, background): “In Section 3, evidence is presented suggesting that although strong positive correlation between X and Y as well as Y and Z theoretically does not imply strong positive correlation between X and Z (Langford et al., 2001), in functional brain networks, this is the case.”
• Evaluation by Association: A Systematic Study of Quantitative Word Association Evaluation (2017, background): “14Although it comes as slightly counter-intuitive, research in statistics has shown that transitivity between correlation coefficients does not hold in general (Langford et al., 2001; Castro Sotos et al., 2009).”
