Covariance is used as an inner product on a formal vector space built on n random variables to define measures of correlation Md across a set of vectors in a d-dimensional space. For d = 1, one has the diameter; for d = 2, one has an area.…

We propose three measures of mutual dependence between multiple random vectors. All the measures are zero if and only if the random vectors are mutually independent. The first measure generalizes distance covariance from pairwise dependence…
