"When we're lacking in sleep, our body's hormones get thrown off balance which can impact our hunger levels the next day. We all have two hormones that affect our appetite: ghrelin and leptin. When we don't get enough sleep, our ghrelin levels (the hormone that makes us feel hungry) rise, and our leptin levels (the hormone that makes us feel full) drop. This means that when we're awake, we tend to eat more but feel less satisfied. Try going to bed a little earlier than usual to avoid this imbalance and remember to remove any distractions that might prevent you from nodding off."
First, eliminate or seriously cut back on the fake foods. When possible, choose real foods instead. Among weight loss tips, this one is absolutely essential. That means an apple instead of apple juice, orange slices instead of something orange-flavored. If you're craving something, skip the no-fat version that will likely leave you wanting more, and instead measure out a serving instead so you can enjoy the food without going nuts.
When you exercise on the rowing machine, try this interval workout: Row for 60 seconds, note the distance on the machine, then rest 60 seconds. Repeat, only this time, row for 55 seconds and try to match or better your distance from the first time. Rest 55 seconds, then repeat, reducing the time to 50 seconds. Continue until you can't beat your original distance.
Be choosy about carbs. You can decide which ones you eat, and how much. Look for those that are low on the glycemic index (for instance, asparagus is lower on the glycemic index than a potato) or lower in carbs per serving than others. Whole grains are better choices than processed items, because processing removes key nutrients such as fiber, iron, and B vitamins. They may be added back, such as in "enriched" bread.
Everyone is different. How quickly you burn calories when you are not physically active can be very different from other people based on your specific genes, biology, and past. While scientists know that there are 3,500 calories in one pound, simply eating 500 fewer calories every day for a week (or 3,500 fewer calories in a week) does not always end in losing exactly one pound.
Try not to think that you can't eat certain foods because you're "too overweight." According to the National Eating Disorder Association, dieting, drive for thinness, and body dissatisfaction can become internalized at a young age and lead to an eating disorder. Change your mindset to celebrate the healthy foods you're eating because they're helping your body stay healthy and energized.
Say cheese! Adding some extra calcium to your diet could be the key to getting that flat stomach you've been dreaming about. Over just 12 months, researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville found that obese female study subjects who upped their calcium intake shed 11 pounds of body fat without other major dietary modifications. To keep your calcium choices healthy, try mixing it up between dairy sources, calcium-rich leafy greens, fatty fish, nuts, and seeds.
To encourage ketone production, the amount of insulin in your bloodstream must be low. The lower your insulin, the higher your ketone production. And when you have a well-controlled, sufficiently large amount of ketones in your blood, it's basically proof that your insulin is very low – and therefore, that you're enjoying the maximum effect of your low-carbohydrate diet. That's what's called optimal ketosis.
Don't buy your tickets to Bonnaroo just yet; the kind of acid that will help you slim down is the stuff right inside your cabinet. A 12-week study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry reveals that obese study subjects who made vinegar part of their diet dropped more belly fat than a control group, and other research suggests that acidic foods, like vinegar, can increase the human carbohydrate metabolism by as much as 40 percent.
Your most immediate and best option is to combine aerobic exercise and exercise involving lifting weights, as you will not only burn body fat but tone your muscles as well, positively changing your hip to waist ratio, and working quickly towards a healthier body in ever aspect. As you burn belly fat, you'll burn fat where it doesn't need to be elsewhere, too!
As a result, about four in 10 Americans are obese -- that's a whopping 93.3 million adults -- which increases their risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers and early mortality, and cost the country $147 billion in medical costs in 2008, according to the CDC. Nearly 80% of American adults are also not getting enough aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity, which is linked to about $117 billion in annual health care costs and 10% of premature mortality, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Barley got its hunger-fighting reputation after Swedish researchers found that eating barley or rye kernels for breakfast kept blood sugar on an even keel. That's because the carbs in barley and rye kernels are "low glycemic index," meaning they raise blood sugar more slowly than some other carbohydrate foods. This helps you avoid a spike, and then a drop, in blood sugar, which can leave you feeling famished.
It's wise to want to eliminate sugary drinks from your diet, but replacing them with "diet" versions or drinks with artificial sweeteners is not the solution. One study conducted by researchers from Marquette University and the Medical College of Wisconsin showed that artificial sweeteners could actually contribute to weight gain in a way that does not happen with natural sugars. Other studies have shown that drinking artificial sweeteners was highly correlated to an occurrence of dementia and stroke.
Food labels can help you lose weight, if you know how to read them. Everyday Health says it's important to pay attention to serving size, calories (and calories from fat), fats, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, protein, and vitamins and minerals. Then, you can make smarter food choices like picking up a water-packed tuna rather than oil-packed, which can cut significant calories.
Created in 2003 by cardiologist Arthur Agatston, this low-carb diet features three phases. The first phase is the most restrictive, limiting carbs such as potatoes and rice. Each subsequent phase becomes more lenient, and the diet emphasizes lean protein, unsaturated fats, and low-glycemic carbs such as nonstarchy vegetables. South Beach promotes lasting lifestyle changes, according to the Mayo Clinic. (21)
Swapping out unhealthy foods for nutritious ones gives you benefits beyond just losing weight. "I cleaned up my diet, swapping deli sandwiches with high-sodium meat and mayo for Tupperware containers or big butter-lettuce salads topped with carrots, walnuts, feta, and homemade dressing," says Jennifer Lasher, who lost 75 pounds. "I found that ditching processed foods left me with more energy, a clear head, and better skin, too."
Usually, a weight-loss plan combines elements of healthy eating and exercise to give its users the best chance of achieving their target weight. In addition to specifying a weekly menu plan or giving guidelines regarding calorie-intake and food selection, the best weight-loss plans of 2019 give you clear exercise regimes or allocate you fitness points for activities you perform on a day-to-day basis, like housekeeping, for example.

"Exercise should not be used to purge calories," Albers says. "Instead, to boost your mood to keep you motivated." The thing is, exercise is great for you and can make you feel awesome. And feeling good about yourself seems to be actually useful in weight-loss efforts. Plus, some research has shown that changes in exercise behavior can lead to changes in eating behavior. "In part, it is neurochemical. Movement and exercise you enjoy boosts your serotonin and dopamine levels, which makes you feel good all the way around," Albers says.
Don't let extra hours lounging in bed stand between you and a flatter belly. While getting enough sleep can help boost your metabolic rate, sleeping in may undo any benefit you'd enjoy from catching a few extra winks. One study reveals that late sleepers who snoozed past 10:45 in the morning ate nearly 250 more calories over the course of the day, despite eating half as many fruits and vegetables as their early bird counterparts. Even worse, they chowed down on more salty, sugary, and trans fat-laden fast food than those who woke up earlier. If you happen to head out of the house early, you're in for an additional metabolic boost; researchers at Northwestern University have found that people exposed to just a short period of early morning sunlight had lower BMIs than their late-waking counterparts.
Popcorn is a whole grain, so it's not unreasonable to include it on your green-light food list. However, even "natural" and "light" microwave popcorn is loaded with artificial ingredients, plus sodium and butter—and a ton of calories. This doesn't mean you have to give up all popcorn though, as air-popped popcorn is a much better alternative. It only contains 30 calories per cup and you can customize it to your liking.
After a cancer diagnosis sent her normally healthy lifestyle off-course, flight attendant Tracey Z. Dickson was heavier than she had ever been. When she was declared cancer-free, she hopped back on the treadmill and got her diet in order—and went from 158 pounds to 117. One of her diet secrets? "Instead of dessert, I'll have a baked sweet potato sprinkled with cinnamon," she says. "It tastes like I'm eating sweet potato pie, but for a ton less calories." For more healthy ideas on how to get your sugar fix, check out these desserts with 150 calories (or less).
In reality, a never-ending list of factors—including (yes) food and exercise, but also sleep, stress management, hormone health, self-esteem, past weights, and those pesky genetics—influence weight loss as well as the weight your body naturally gravitates toward at a given time in your life, Abby Langer, R.D., a Toronto-based dietitian and nutrition counselor, tells SELF. Of course, maintaining a caloric deficit drives weight loss, but so much more goes into a successful weight-loss effort than the math of calories in and calories out.

The trick here is not only to avoid all obvious sources of carbohydrate (sweets, bread, spaghetti, rice, potatoes), but also to be careful with your protein intake. If you eat large amounts of meat, eggs and the like, the excess protein will be converted into glucose in your body. Large amounts of protein can also raise your insulin levels somewhat. This compromises optimal ketosis.
If you feel like you're making smart moves to lose weight but the scale isn't moving the way you want, your diet may contain some sneaky foods that can lead to bloating, water retention (ahem, salt!), and a higher calorie intake. Veggies, fruits, seeds, nuts, fish, whole grains, and other smart choices loaded with fiber and protein will keep you fuller longer, all while working their nutrient-powered magic. When it comes to healthy eating and weight loss, these plant-based foods loved by registered dietitians have your back.
The idea is that the fasting induces mild stress to the cells in your body, helping them become better at coping with such stress and possibly helping your body grow stronger. The verdict is still out regarding the diet's long-term effectiveness with weight loss, according to a review of preliminary animal research published in January 2017 in Behavioral Sciences. (17)

If the diet is a quick fix rather than one that promotes lasting lifestyle changes, this could pose a problem. In particular, extreme diets that promise big weight loss up front aren't always sustainable — and you may end up overeating or even binge eating if you feel deprived. "Consider if the diet's habits are ones you can continue throughout your lifetime, not just 21 or 30 days," says Angie Asche, RD, a sports dietitian in Lincoln, Nebraska.
You can't skimp on sleep. Losing weight for good calls for a total lifestyle change -- and that includes getting more Zs. Missing the recommended seven to nine hours of shut-eye has been linked repeatedly with increased obesity rates. "When you don't sleep enough, it certainly affects your brain," explained Dr. Arad. "What we've learned is that people who don't sleep well are making poor choices — eating more unhealthy diets, and they are obviously more fatigued, so they become less physically active." In fact, people who sleep six hours or fewer per night on average consume about 300 extra calories the following day.
If you're a woman trying to lose weight and get fit, there's something you should know: It often takes longer for women to lose weight than men. And, if you've had a baby, you may have to factor in even more time. That said, women can do some things to speed up their weight loss. The following resources will help you learn more about how to maximize your cardio and strength training workouts, how to set realistic goals and how you can burn more calories.
Insulin (in-suh-lin): A hormone made by the cells in your pancreas. Insulin helps your body store the glucose (sugar) from your meals. If you have diabetes and your pancreas is unable to make enough of this hormone, you may be prescribed medicines to help your liver make more or make your muscles more sensitive to the available insulin. If these medicines are not enough, you may be prescribed insulin shots.
Watch your drinks. It's amazing how many calories are in the sodas, juices, and other drinks that you take in every day. Simply cutting out a can of soda or one sports drink can save you 150 calories or more each day. Drink water or other sugar-free drinks to quench your thirst and stay away from sugary juices and sodas. Choosing nonfat or low-fat milk is also a good idea.
Ultimately, weight loss for the long-term requires some short-term behavior change and healthier habit formation. That's why we created our Good Housekeeping Nutritionist Approved Emblem, which exists to help turn smart food choices into healthier eating habits. All GHNA foods and drinks make it easier to find — and eat — good-for-you foods without additional time, effort, and cost. We target the lifestyle-related factors that make healthier eating hard, and find simple but creative solutions that actually work! Look for the emblem on labels wherever you shop for food!
The fad military diet consists of low-calorie, odd food pairings such as bun-less hot dogs with banana, carrots, and broccoli. "Any diet like the military diet that severely limits the amount of calories you consume or eliminates one or more entire food groups puts any individual at risk for nutrient deficiencies," says Kyle. "This can be more harmful than holding onto those 10 extra lb you're trying to lose." (32)
Once you've completed your weight-loss plan comes the hardest part of all – maintaining your weight. Hopefully, during the course of your weight-loss plan, you've not only acquired some useful diet tools and exercise ideas, but you've also met with other people trying to achieve similar goals. Use those tools and support group to help you keep the pounds from piling back on.
One of the biggest differentiating factors of Weight Watchers is their famous claim that you can eat whatever you want. A points-based system allows members to select which indulgences they want to spend their calories on, and that's also one of the secrets to its success. When people feel that they aren't being restricted, psychologically, it is easier for them to follow a diet plan. This is part of what you'll get from a Weight Watchers membership:
If you like eating meat and want to lose weight, you might be tempted to try this recent extreme diet fad that proponents have made some pretty outrageous claims about. One: that eating nothing but meat can cure you of autoimmune diseases. The problem is that there's no good research to support that notion, or any other health claim, for that matter. Indeed, omitting foods known to be good for you — fruits and veggies among them — can lead to a bunch of unwanted side effects, including constipation and potentially dangerous nutrient deficiencies. Still, since you're cutting out so many food groups, there's a decent chance you'll lose weight, experts say. Regardless of any possible benefits you might see, this restrictive approach is definitely one you'll want to ask your doc about before you even consider diving in.
"Order without looking at the menu. Almost every restaurant has the basics—veggies, grains, and protein. If you go in knowing what you want, I guarantee you'll be able to make a meal. If you're too uncomfortable to ask for what you need, tell a white lie: Say you're allergic. I know it's controversial to suggest this, but women in particular can really have trouble standing up for their own needs. So if you want the broccoli soup puréed without cream, tell the waiter you're lactose intolerant."
So she started researching. She found something called the 21-Day Meal Plan, which seemed like it would work with their lives. The plan showed them what foods they could eat and what they should skip. They started by cutting sugar, junk and processed foods and added vegetables, fruit, legumes, whole grains and lean meats, such as chicken and turkey. In the first week, Parent noticed a difference.

Eating too little can be extremely dangerous for your body. According to Medical News Today, having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of under 18.5 can lead to malnutrition, osteoporosis, developmental problems, a weakened immune system, anemia, and chronic fatigue. Healthline reports that the average woman needs about 2000 calories per day to maintain her weight and about 1500 calories to lose one pound of weight per week, though you should consult with your healthcare provider to see what's best for you.
Caloric intake: Some people need more calories because of metabolic issues or high activity levels, and low-calorie plans might be insufficient. While it is true that less calories usually means more weight loss, and it's normal to feel hungry some of the time while dieting, some diet plans are too strict and leave you feeling uncomfortably hungry most of the time. Consider if a diet plan will keep you satisfied.

The best low-cal diet plan isn't a diet so much as it is a method. CICO stands for "calories in, calories out" and is based on the mathematically sensible principle that as long as you're burning more calories than you're eating, you'll lose weight. All you need to get started is a way to track your calories—there are plenty of apps on the market although a pen and paper works great too—and a food scale to keep you honest about your portion sizes. (Also read this guide on how to safely cut calories to lose weight.) People love the simplicity and straightforwardness of the plan. And while it may not be the fastest way to lose weight, you're guaranteed to have success long term. (Just know that some weight-loss experts actually don't recommend calorie counting.)
In what is perhaps the biggest buzzkill of all time, sex doesn't quite count as cardio or burn a significant amount of calories: Women burn about 3.6 per minute. "It's still a good idea," Dr. Seltzer says, citing the activity's other benefits, like increasing the output of the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine, which naturally reduce food cravings.
There's a phenomenon I've see happen again and again. A husband and wife realize they've been enjoying their after-dinner snacks a bit too much and are seeing the numbers on the scale rise. They decide to embark on a healthy diet to shed those excess pounds and, ideally, lose weight fast. Two months later, the husband's shed serious pounds and is looking trim, while the wife struggles to get the scale to budge, even after a diet full of kale salads and grilled chicken breast.
First, as women near midlife, their ratio of fat to body weight increases rapidly. Second, many women see that new fat mostly around their bellies. This is "visceral fat" and it can change the entire shape of your midsection. Visceral fat cells are like miniature endocrine organs that are especially active, setting off inflammation and increasing insulin resistance. Third, visceral fat gets a huge boost from lifestyle issues like depression and stress, poor sleep, smoking (proven to increase belly fat ), irritability, and drinking fructose-sweetened beverages (leads to more visceral fat and decreases insulin sensitivity).
Spanx are maybe no one's idea of a good time, but sometimes you just need a little extra (firm) help to flatten your tummy to wear your favorite dress or for a special evening out. And there's nothing wrong with turning to technology to help you get there. Body shaping undergarments have come a long way in the past few years with more breathable fabrics and styles for both men and women.

It takes more than just crunches! We start to gain weight in our midsection when our cortisol levels spike. Stress is one of the primary culprits for high levels of cortisol secretion. When this happens cortisol breaks downs lean muscle (the type of tissue that burns calories most efficiently) and also holds on to fat storage in the abdominal region. That stress can even get WORSE with bad dieting; studies show that the stress caused by dieting can increase cortisol levels, making no change in belly fat even with calorie restriction. So how do you shape up? Incorporate these 6 things below and you will be on your way to a flatter belly in no time flat!

Like many other overweight and obese people, particularly women, you may have tried time and time again to lose weight with little to no success. You may feel discouraged and wonder what's the point in even trying? While you're not alone in these feelings and frustrations, there are some key weight loss tips involved in women's weight loss you might not know about — and that could make all the difference.
The best way to lower your cortisol levels is by decreasing stress. While it's easier said than done, weight loss tips like this one involve you simply taking the time to put yourself and your health first. Practicing saying "no" to events and things you know will cause you stress, carve out time to exercise, set aside some time daily — even just 5 minutes — to meditate or practice gratitude and learn to recognize when you're feeling extra worn out and need a time out.
Jen Tallman never thought she would have the courage to pursue a career in fashion due to her size...until she dropped 110 pounds by reducing her caloric intake and picking up running. Now she works at Chanel. How does she resist the temptation to deviate from her newfound healthy habits when eating out with friends? She checks out the menu beforehand so she always knows her healthy options. Just make sure you know how to spot what's actually healthy—restaurants can have a knack for trying to make you think things are healthier than they are.
The notion that abdominal obesity is the most dangerous kind isn't new. Back in the 1940s, the French physician Jean Vague observed that some obese patients had normal blood chemistry, while some moderately overweight patients showed serious abnormalities that predisposed them to heart disease or diabetes. Almost always, the latter patients carried their fat around their middles. And, almost always, they were men.

If you don't have an established exercise routine, simply walking is the best first step toward weight loss. "Walking is a pretty good entry point for people," says Gagliardi. This is particularly true if you have been out of the gym for a while and want to ease back into a workout routine. One small study published in The Journal of Exercise Nutrition & Biochemistry found that obese women who did a walking program for 50 to 70 minutes three days per week for 12 weeks significantly slashed their visceral fat compared to a sedentary control group.
Our gut microbiome controls far more than we give it credit for, which is why having your gut colonized with beneficial types of bacteria is so important. One way to do this is by taking a probiotic supplement. You can also make these 12 foods that boost good gut bacteria part of your everyday diet. Not only will this help you get sick less, feel happier, and ease digestion but it can also help you de-bloat, flattening out your tummy in the process. Try these home remedies to lose belly fat.

Watch your drinks. It's amazing how many calories are in the sodas, juices, and other drinks that you take in every day. Simply cutting out a can of soda or one sports drink can save you 150 calories or more each day. Drink water or other sugar-free drinks to quench your thirst and stay away from sugary juices and sodas. Choosing nonfat or low-fat milk is also a good idea.
Get all that? Basically, the differences between groups were minimal. Yes, the low-fat group dropped their daily fat intake and the low-carb group dropped their daily carb intake. But both groups ended up taking in 500 to 600 calories less per day than they had before, and both lost the same average amount of weight (12 pounds) over the course of a year. Those genetic and physical makeups didn't result in any differences either. The only measure that was different was that the LDL (low density lipoprotein) was significantly lower in the low-fat group, and the HDL (high density lipoprotein) was significantly higher in the low-carb group.
"Anytime you're stressed, you probably go for food," Dr. Seltzer says. (Have we met?!) That's because cortisol, the stress hormone, stokes your appetite for sugary, fatty foods. No wonder it's associated with higher body weight, according to a 2007 Obesity study that quantified chronic stress exposure by looking at cortisol concentrations in more than 2,000 adults' hair.
The Volumetrics plan does not have a website, therefore there is no formal support, but it can be paired with any free online support program, such as SparkPeople or MyFitnessPal, both free, highly rated diet and fitness-support websites. For some people the big drawback to the Volumetrics approach is that food preparation, both shopping and cooking, is not optional -- you will need to have some level of comfort in the kitchen. However, the book features meal plans, and the recipes are reported as easy to follow by consumer reviewers. At least one expert says this particular approach is probably best for people who have hunger or portion-control issues rather than emotional eaters who often eat for reasons other than hunger. Also, if you're more a meat-and-potatoes kind of eater, you may get weary of a diet that's heavy on vegetables, fruits and soups.
Bran muffins sound like a healthy breakfast option—with all that cholesterol-lowering oat bran, right? But the prepackaged ones found at the supermarket aren't nearly as fresh or healthy as they claim, and they're almost always oversized, packing in some 300 calories—about the same as a cream-filled doughnut! Many are also loaded with saturated fats butter and oil and contain upwards of 600 grams of sodium. Homemade is key when you're trying to lose weight, so why not try making your own? While baking definitely does take more time than going to the store, you'll reap the benefits of all your hard work spent in the kitchen.
Eat More Produce. Eating lots of low-calorie, high-volume fruits and vegetables crowds out other foods that are higher in fat and calories. Move the meat off the center of your plate and pile on the vegetables. Or try starting lunch or dinner with a vegetable salad or bowl of broth-based soup, suggests Barbara Rolls, PhD, author of The Volumetrics Eating Plan. The U.S. government's 2005 Dietary Guidelines suggest that adults get 7-13 cups of produce daily. Ward says that's not really so difficult: "Stock your kitchen with plenty of fruits and vegetables and at every meal and snack, include a few servings," she says. "Your diet will be enriched with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fiber, and if you fill up on super-nutritious produce, you won't be reaching for the cookie jar."

If you use the vacuum cleaner for wet dirt, you don't need a filter bag. There's a handy storage place for the cable and accessories in the vacuum cleaner and with the ergonomic carrying handle, you can easily move the vacuum cleaner to where you're going to use it.

Exploring and measuring non-linear correlations: Copulas, Lightspeed Transportation and Clustering
We propose a methodology to explore and measure the pairwise correlations that exist between variables in a dataset. The methodology leverages copulas for encoding dependence between two variables, state-of-the-art optimal transport for providing a relevant geometry to the copulas, and clustering for summarizing the main dependence patterns found between the variables. Some of the clusters centers can be used to parameterize a novel dependence coefficient which can target or forget specific dependence patterns. Finally, we illustrate and benchmark the methodology on several datasets. Code and numerical experiments are available online for reproducible research.
Pearson's correlation coefficient which estimates linear dependence between two variables is still the mainstream tool for measuring variable correlations in science and engineering. However, its shortcomings are well-documented in the statistics literature: not robust to outliers; not invariant to monotone transformations of the variables; can take value 0 whereas variables are strongly dependent; only relevant when variables are jointly normally distributed. A large but under-exploited literature in statistics and machine learning has expanded recently to alleviate these issues [reshef2011detecting, szekely2009brownian, sejdinovic2013equivalence]. An underlying idea to many of the dependence coefficients is to compute a distance between the joint distribution of variables , and the product of marginal distributions encoding the independence. For example, choosing (Kullback-Leibler divergence), we end up with the Mutual Information (MI) measure, well-known in information theory. Thus, one can detect all the dependences between and since the distance will be greater than 0 as soon as is different from . Then, the dependence literature focus has shifted toward the new concept of "equitability" [kinney2014equitability]: How can one quantify the strength of a statistical association between two variables without bias for relationships of a specific form? Many researchers now aim at designing and proving that their proposed measures are indeed equitable [reshef2013equitability, ding2013copula, chang2016robust]. This is not what we look for in this article. But, on the contrary, we want to target specific dependence patterns and ignore others. We want to target dependence which are relevant to such or such problem, and forget about the dependence which are not in the scope of the problems at hand, or even worse which may be spurious associations (pure chance or artifacts in the data). The latter will be detected with an equitable dependence measure since they are deviation from independence, and will be given as much weight as the interesting ones. Rather than using the biases for specific dependence of several coefficients, we propose a dependence coefficient that can be parameterized by a set of target-dependences, and a set of forget-dependences. Sets of target and forget dependences can be built using expert hypotheses, or by leveraging the centers of clusters resulting from an exploratory clustering of the pairwise dependences. To achieve this goal, we will leverage three tools: copulas, optimal transportation, and clustering. Whereas clustering, the task of grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (also called cluster) are more similar to each other than those in different groups, is common knowledge in the machine learning community, copulas and optimal transportation are not yet mainstream tools. Copulas have recently gained attention in machine learning [elidan2013copulas], and several copula-based dependence measures have been proposed for improving feature selection methods [ghahramani2012copula, lopez2013randomized, chang2016robust]. Optimal transport may be more familiar to computer scientists working in computer vision since it is the underlying theory of the Earth Mover's Distance [rubner2000earth]. Until very recently, optimal transportation distances between distributions were not deemed relevant for machine learning applications since the best computational cost known was super-cubic to the number of bins used for discretizing the distribution supports which grows itself exponentially with the dimension. A mere distance evaluation could take several seconds! In this article, we leverage recent computational breakthroughs detailed in [cuturi2013sinkhorn] which make their use practical in machine learning.
Background on Copulas and Optimal Transport
Copulas are functions that couple multivariate distribution functions to their one-dimensional marginal distribution functions [nelsen2013introduction]. In this article, we will only consider bivariate copulas, but most of the results and the methodology presented hold in the multivariate setting, at the cost of a much higher computational burden which is for now a bit unrealistic.
Theorem 1 (Sklar's Theorem [sklar1959fonctions])
For any random vector having continuous marginal cumulative distribution functions respectively, its joint cumulative distribution is uniquely expressed as , where , the bivariate distribution of uniform marginals , is known as the copula of .
Copulas are central for studying the dependence between random variables: their uniform marginals jointly encode all the dependence. They allow to study scale-free measures of dependence and are invariant to monotonous transformations of the variables. Some copulas play a major role in the measure of dependence, namely and the Fréchet-Hoeffding copula bounds, and the independence copula (depicted in Figure 1).
Definition 1 (Fréchet-Hoeffding copula bounds)
For any copula and any the following bounds hold:
where is the copula for countermonotonic random variables and is the copula for comonotonic random variables.
Many correlation coefficients can actually be expressed as a distance between the data copula and one of these reference copulas. For example, the Spearman (rank) correlation which is usually understood as , i.e. the linear dependence of the probability integral transformed variables (rank-transformed data), can also be viewed as an average distance between the copula of and the independence copula : [nelsen2013introduction]. Moreover, since is the distance between point to the diagonal (the measure of the positive dependence copula), one can rewrite [liebscher2014copula]. Thus, Spearman correlation can also be viewed as measuring a deviation from the monotonically increasing dependence to the data copula using a quadratic distance. We will leverage this idea to propose our dependence-parameterized dependence coefficient.
Notice that when working with empirical data, we do not know a priori the margins for applying the probability integral transform . Deheuvels in [deheuvels1979fonction] has introduced a practical estimator for the uniform margins and the underlying copula, the empirical copula transform.
Definition 2 (Empirical Copula Transform)
Let , , be observations from a random vector with continuous margins. Since one cannot directly obtain the corresponding copula observations , where , without knowing a priori , one can instead estimate the empirical margins , to obtain the empirical observations . Equivalently, since , being the rank of observation , the empirical copula transform can be considered as the normalized rank transform.
Notice that the empirical copula transform is fast to compute, sorting arrays of length can be done in , consistent and converges fast to the underlying copula [deheuvels1981asymptotic], [ghahramani2012copula].
As motivated in the introduction, we want to compare and summarize the pairwise empirical dependence structure (empirical bivariate copulas) of many variables. This brings the following questions: How can we compare two such copulas? What is a relevant representative of a set of empirical copulas? Which geometries are relevant for clustering these empirical distributions, and which are not?
Optimal Transport
In [Mart1606:Optimal], authors illustrate in a parametric setting using Gaussian copulas that common divergences (such as Kullback-Leibler, Jeffreys, Hellinger, Bhattacharyya) are not relevant for clustering these distributions, especially when dependence is high. These information divergences are only defined for absolutely continuous measures whereas some copulas have no density (e.g. the one for positive dependence). In practice, when working with frequency histograms, it gets worse: One has to pre-process the empirical measures with a kernel density estimator before computing these divergences. On the contrary, optimal transport distances are well-defined for both discrete (e.g. empirical) and continuous measures.
The idea of optimal transport is intuitive. It was first formulated by Gaspard Monge in 1781 [monge1781memoire] as a problem to efficiently level the ground: Given that work is measured by the distance multiplied by the amount of dirt displaced, what is the minimum amount of work required to level the ground? Optimal transport plans and distances give the answer to this problem.
In practice, empirical distributions can be represented by histograms. We follow notations from [cuturi2013sinkhorn]. Let , be two histograms in the probability simplex . Let be the transportation polytope of and , that is the set containing all possible transport plans between and .
Definition 3 (Optimal Transport)
Given a cost matrix , the cost of mapping to using a transportation matrix can be quantified as , where is the Frobenius dot-product. The optimal transport between and given transportation cost is thus:
Whenever belongs to the cone of distance matrices, the optimum of the transportation problem is itself a distance.
Lightspeed transportation. Optimal transport distances suffer from a computational burden scaling in which has prevented their widespread use in machine learning: A mere distance computation between two high-dimensional histograms can take several seconds. In [cuturi2013sinkhorn], Cuturi provides a solution to this problem: He restrains the polytope of all possible transport plans between and to a Kullback-Leibler ball , where He then shows that it amounts to perform an entropic regularization (recently generalized to many more regularizers in [muzellec2016tsallis, dessein2016regularized]) of the optimal transportation problem whose solution is smoother and less deterministic. The regularized optimal transportation problem is now strictly convex, and can be solved efficiently using the Sinkhorn-Knopp iterative algorithm which exhibits linear convergence. Its solution is the Sinkhorn distance [cuturi2013sinkhorn]:
and its dual :
where , and is the entropy function.
In the following, we will leverage the dual-Sinkhorn distances for comparing, clustering and computing the clusters centers [DBLP:conf/icml/CuturiD14] of a set of copulas at full speed.
A methodology to explore and measure non-linear correlations
We propose an approach to explore and measure non-linear correlations between variables in a dataset. These variables can be, for instance, time series or features. The methodology presented (which is summarized in Figure 2) is twofold, and consists of: (i) an exploratory part of the pairwise dependence between variables, (ii) the parameterization and use of a novel dependence coefficient.
Using transportation of copulas as a measure of correlations
In this section, we leverage and extend the idea presented in our short introduction to copulas: correlation coefficients can be viewed as a distance between the data-copula and the Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds or the independence copula. The distance involved is usually an Minkowski metric distance. In the following, we will:
replace the distance by an optimal transport distance between measures,
parameterize a dependence coefficient with other copulas than the Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds or the independence one.
Using the optimal transport distance between copulas, we now propose a dependence coefficient which is parameterized by two sets of copulas: target copulas and forget copulas.
Definition 4 (Target/Forget Dependence Coefficient)
Let be the set of forget-dependence copulas.
Let be the set of target-dependence copulas.
Let be the copula of . Let be an optimal transport distance parameterized by a ground metric .
We define the Target/Forget Dependence Coefficient as:
Using this definition, we obtain: , .
Example. A standard correlation coefficient can be obtained by setting the forget-dependence set to the independence copula, and the target-dependence set to the Fréchet-Hoeffding bounds. How does it compare to the Spearman correlation? In Figure 3, we display how the two coefficients behave on a simple numerical experiment: , , where is uniform on and are independent noises. That is over . Notice that for , Spearman coefficient takes a negative value. We may thus prefer the monotonically increasing behaviour of the TFDC to the Spearman one.
How to choose, design and build targets?
We now propose two alternatives for choosing, designing and building the target and forget copulas: an exploratory data-driven approach and an hypotheses testing approach.
Data-driven: Clustering of copulas
Assume we have variables , and observations for each of them. First, we compute empirical copulas which represent the dependence structure between all the couples (. Then, we summarize all these distributions using a center-based clustering algorithm, and extract the clusters centers using a fast computation of Wasserstein barycenters [DBLP:conf/icml/CuturiD14]. A given center represents the mean dependence between the couples inside the corresponding cluster. Figure 4 and 5 illustrate why a Wasserstein barycenter, i.e. the minimizer of [agueh2011barycenters] where is a set of measures (here, bivariate empirical copulas), is more relevant to our needs: we benefit from robustness against small deformations of the dependence patterns.
Example. In Table 1, we display some interesting dependence patterns which can be found in UCI datasets http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/. In this case, variables are the features. Some associations are easy to explain (e.g. top left copula representing the relation between radius and area of roughly round cells in the Breast Cancer Wisconsin (Diagnostic) Data Set) whereas some others less (e.g. top row third copula from the left which represents the relation between the perimeter and the fractal dimension of the cells).
An equitable copula-based dependence measure such as the one described in [ghahramani2012copula] may detect them well, but will also detect the spurious ones which are due to artifacts in the data (or pure chance). With this approach, one can spot them and add them to the set of forget-dependence copulas. For these reasons, we think that this approach could improve the feature selection correlation-based approaches [hall2000correlation, yu2003feature] which rely on the hypothesis that good feature subsets contain features highly correlated with the class, yet uncorrelated with each other [hall2000correlation].

Targets as hypotheses from an expert
One can specify dependence hypotheses, generate the corresponding copulas, then measure and rank correlations with respect to them. For example, one can answer to questions such as: Which are the pairs of assets that are usually positively correlated for small variations but uncorrelated otherwise? In [durante2009rectangular], authors present a method for constructing bivariate copulas by changing the values that a given copula assumes on some subrectangles of the unit square. They discuss some applications of their methodology including the construction of copulas with different tail dependencies. Building target and forget copulas is another one. In the Experiments section, we illustrate its use to answer the previous question and other dependence queries.
Exploration of financial correlations
We illustrate the first part of the methodology with three different datasets of financial time series. These time series consist in the daily returns of stocks (40 stocks from the CAC 40 index comprising the French highest market capitalizations), credit default swaps (75 CDS from the iTraxx Crossover index comprising the most liquid sub-investment grade European entities) and foreign exchange rates (80 FX rates of major world currencies) between January 2006 and August 2016. We display some of the clustering centroids obtained for each asset class on the top row, and below we display their corresponding Gaussian copulas parameterized by the estimated linear correlations. Notice the strong difference between the empirical copulas and the Gaussian ones which are still widely used in financial engineering due to their convenience. Notice also the difference between asset classes: Though estimated correlations are for the leftmost copulas, they have much dissimilar peculiarities.
Centroids' main feature: More mass in the bottom-left corner, i.e. lower tail dependence. Stock prices tend to plummet together.
Credit default swaps
Centroids' main feature: More mass in the top-right corner, i.e. upper tail dependence. Insurance cost against entities' default tends to soar in stressed market.
FX rates
Centroids' main feature: Empirical copulas show that dependence between FX rates are various. For example, rates may exhibit either strong dependence or independence while being anti-correlated during extreme events.
Answering dependence queries
Inspired by the previous exploration results, we may want to answer such questions: (A) Which pair of assets having correlation has the nearest copula to the Gaussian one? Though such questions can be answered by computing a likelihood for each pairs, our methodology stands out for dealing with non-parametric dependence patterns, and thus for questions such as: (B) Which pairs of assets are both positively and negatively correlated? (C) Which assets occur extreme variations while those of others are relatively small, and conversely? (D) Which pairs of assets are positively correlated for small variations but uncorrelated otherwise?
Considering a cross-asset dataset which comprises the SBF 120 components (index including the CAC 40 and 80 other highly capitalized French entities), the 500 most liquid CDS worldwide, and 80 FX rates, we display in Figure 6 the empirical copulas (alongside their respective targets) which best answer questions A,B,C,D.
Power of TFDC
In this experiment, we compare the empirical power of TFDC to well-known dependence coefficients such as Pearson linear correlation (cor), distance correlation (dCor) [szekely2009brownian], maximal information coefficient (MIC) [reshef2011detecting], alternating conditional expectations (ACE) [breiman1985estimating], maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) [gretton2012kernel], copula maximum mean discrepancy (CMMD) [ghahramani2012copula], randomized dependence coefficient (RDC) [lopez2013randomized]. Statistical power of a binary hypothesis test is the probability that the test correctly rejects the null hypothesis (H0) when the alternative hypothesis (H1) is true. In the case of dependence coefficients, we consider (H0): and are independent; (H1): and are dependent. Following the numerical experiment described in [simon2014comment, lopez2013randomized], we estimate the power of the aforementioned dependence measures with simulated pairs of variables with different relationships (considered in [reshef2011detecting, simon2014comment, lopez2013randomized]), but with varying levels of noise added. By design, TFDC aims at detecting the simulated dependence relationships. Thus, this dependence measure is expected to have a much higher power than coefficients such as MIC since, according to Simon and Tibshirani in [simon2014comment], coefficients "which strive to have high power against all alternatives can have low power in many important situations." TFDC only targets the specific important situations. Results are displayed in Figure 7.
It is known by risk managers how dangerous it can be to rely solely on a correlation coefficient to measure dependence. That is why we have proposed a novel approach to explore, summarize and measure the pairwise correlations which exist between variables in a dataset. We have also pointed out through the UCI-datasets example that non-trivial dependence patterns can be easily found between the features variables. Using these patterns as targets when performing correlation-based feature selection may improve results. This idea still needs to be empirically verified. The experiments show the benefits of the proposed method: It allows to highlight the various dependence patterns that can be found between financial time series, which strongly depart from the Gaussian copula widely used in financial engineering. Though answering dependence queries as briefly outlined is still an art, we plan to develop a rich language so that a user can formulate complex questions about dependence, which will be automatically translated into copulas in order to let the methodology provide these questions accurate answers.

Drivers warned over badger deaths
23 September 2006 - BBC News
Motorists are being warned to watch for badgers after an East Sussex animal rescue charity was called out to tend nine injured animals in three weeks.
Only one of the badgers rescued has survived and East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service (WRAS) said it feared more casualties to come.
"As the nights set in earlier, badgers will start moving about earlier," said spokesman Trevor Weeks.
The latest rescue was an animal which died after being injured in Newhaven.
WRAS was called to Lewes Road on Wednesday night to find the young animal had a damaged rear leg and a bite wound. The badger died after treatment.
Some of the main roads where badgers are frequently hit are the A259 between Eastbourne and Seaford and the A27/A259 between Polegate and Bexhill.
"We are noticing more casualties in urban areas too, with injured animals being found near Eastbourne District General Hospital and in the centre of Hastings," said Mr Weeks.
He said other animals such as deer, foxes, rabbits and birds of prey were all more likely to be hit by motorists as the nights drew in.
