Given two distinct datasets, an important question is if they have arisen from the the same data generating function or alternatively how their data generating functions diverge from one another. In this paper, we introduce an approach for…

In this paper we propose and study a class of nonparametric, yet interpretable measures of association between two random vectors $X$ and $Y$ taking values in $\mathbb{R}^{d_1}$ and $\mathbb{R}^{d_2}$ respectively ($d_1, d_2\ge 1$). These…
