We extend the theory of distance (Brownian) covariance from Euclidean spaces, where it was introduced by Sz\'{e}kely, Rizzo and Bakirov, to general metric spaces. We show that for testing independence, it is necessary and sufficient that…

We show that the stochastic independence of real-valued random variables is equivalent to the conditional uncorrelation, where the conditioning takes place over the Cartesian products of intervals. Next, we express the mutual independence…

We extend a theorem of Maa, Pearl, and Bartoszynski, which links equality of interpoint distance distributions to equality of underlying multivariate distributions, beyond the restrictive class of homogeneous, translation-invariant distance…

The covariance of two random variables measures the average joint deviations from their respective means. We generalise this well-known measure by replacing the means with other statistical functionals such as quantiles, expectiles, or…

We study an independence test based on distance correlation for random fields $(X,Y)$. We consider the situations when $(X,Y)$ is observed on a lattice with equidistant grid sizes and when $(X,Y)$ is observed at random locations. We provide…

We prove a vector-valued almost sure invariance principle for some classes of time dependent non-uniformly distance expanding dynamical systems. The models we have in mind are certain sequential versions of the smooth non-uniformly distance…

Multivariate spatial phenomena are ubiquitous, spanning domains such as climate, pandemics, air quality, and social economy. Cross-correlation between different quantities of interest at different locations is asymmetric in general. This…
