Dependence between fusion temperatures and chemical components of a certain type of coal using classical, non‐parametric and bootstrap techniques

A statistical study of the dependence between various critical fusion temperatures of a certain kind of coal and its chemical components is carried out. As well as using classical dependence techniques (multiple, stepwise and PLS regression, principal components, canonical correlation, etc.) together with the corresponding inference on the parameters of interest, non‐parametric regression and bootstrap inference are also performed.
