Conceptual and statistical problems of sister dependence
姐妹细胞依赖性的概念与统计问题
This is a survey of statistical concepts needed to formalize and solve problems of sister dependence. Notions and measures of stochastic codependence are considered, and the joint use of the correlation coefficient and the monotone dependence function are discussed. Practical remarks on planning the analysis of experiments on sister cells are given. The results of some experiments on Chilodonella steini serve as an illustration.
