Notes

  1. 1.

    ρ p has been widely used to measure the strength of linear dependence between two variables, and ρ s assesses how well the relationship between two variables can be described using a monotonic function. The ranges of both ρ p and ρ s are from − 1 to 1, where a value greater than 0 indicates a positive correlation and a value less than 0 indicates a negative correlation. A value of 0. 8 or more is usually considered strong positive correlation [2].

  2. 2.

    It is easy to assign unique identifiers for multiple videos that are generated/initiated at the same time.
