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

Metric Distributional Discrepancy in Metric Space.
TL;DR: In this article, a metric distributional discrepancy (MDD) measure is proposed to measure the dependence between a random element and a categorical variable, which is applicable to the medical image and genetic data.

A Goodness-of-Fit Test for Statistical Models
TL;DR: A new framework for testing whether the observations follow the proposed statistical model through building its connection with two-sample distribution comparison is proposed and can be applied to evaluate a wide range of models.

Testing for differential abundance in compositional counts data, with application to microbiome studies
TL;DR: In this article , a nonparametric approach was proposed to identify differentially abundant taxa in the context of Crohn's disease using a set of reference taxa that can be estimated from the data or from outside information.

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.
