TLDR
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.read more

A U-statistic Approach to Hypothesis Testing for Structure Discovery in Undirected Graphical Models
TL;DR: The proposed test enables one to answer with statistical significance whether an edge is present in the graph, and convergence results are known for a wide range of distributions, enabling the application of the test to large data samples for which computation time becomes a limiting factor.

Transport Dependency: Optimal Transport Based Dependency Measures.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the transport dependency, which is an alternative framework for measuring statistical dependency, based on the notion of optimal transport and is applicable in general Polish spaces.

Nonparametric Statistical Inference via Metric Distribution Function in Metric Spaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a class of metric distribution functions through the metric between random objects and a fixed location in metric spaces, which lie the foundation for conducting rational statistical inference for metric space-valued data.

On confidence intervals for precision matrices and the eigendecomposition of covariance matrices
TL;DR: A new statistical test is demonstrated, which allows us to test for non-zero values of the precision matrix and makes use of the theory of U-statistics to bound the L 2 perturbation of the empirical covariance matrix.

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.
