In this paper, the problem of detecting associations between random vectors of any dimension is considered and a powerful test that is applicable in all dimensions and consistent against all alternatives is proposed. But the test has a simple form, is easy to implement, and has good power.
Abstract
SUMMARY We consider the problem of detecting associations between random vectors of any dimension. Few tests of independence exist that are consistent against all dependent alternatives. We propose a powerful test that is applicable in all dimensions and consistent against all alternatives. The test has a simple form, is easy to implement, and has good power.

Fast Non-Parametric Tests of Relative Dependency and Similarity

TL;DR: The effectiveness of the relative dependency test is demonstrated on several real-world problems: the authors identify languages groups from a multilingual parallel corpus, and it is shown that tumor location is more dependent on gene expression than chromosome imbalance.

Tests of mutual independence among several random vectors using univariate and multivariate ranks of nearest neighbours

TL;DR: This article proposes some nonparametric tests based on different notions of ranks of nearest neighbour that can be conveniently used for high dimensional data, even when the dimensions of the random vectors are larger than the sample size.

Sliced Independence Test

TL;DR: In this paper , a slicing procedure is introduced to estimate a measure of nonlinear dependence, leading the sliced independence test to simultaneously possess zero-independence equivalent, numerically efficient and asymptotically normal.

Generalized Pearson correlation squares for capturing mixtures of bivariate linear dependences

TL;DR: This work generalizes the squared Pearson correlation to capture a mixture of linear dependences between two real-valued random variables, with or without an index variable that specifies the line memberships, and derives the asymptotic distributions of the sample-level statistics to enable efficient statistical inference.

copent: Estimating Copula Entropy and Transfer Entropy in R

Jian Ma
- 27 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: The copent package as discussed by the authors is a R package that implements these proposed methods for estimating copula entropy and transfer entropy, and three examples with simulated data and real-world data on variable selection and causal discovery are also presented to demonstrate the usage of this package.

The Analysis of Variance

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theory of analysis of variance by considering several different mathematical models is examined, including fixed-effects models with independent observations of equal variance and other models with different observations of variance.

Measuring and testing dependence by correlation of distances

TL;DR: Distance correlation is a new measure of dependence between random vectors that is based on certain Euclidean distances between sample elements rather than sample moments, yet has a compact representation analogous to the classical covariance and correlation.
