Chatterjee's rank correlation is a directed measure of association designed to detect whether one variable can be predicted as a function of another. While the original coefficient is naturally defined for real-valued data, circular data…

Chatterjee (2021) introduced a novel independence test that is rank-based, asymptotically normal and consistent against all alternatives. One limitation of Chatterjee's test is its low statistical power for detecting monotonic…

While researchers commonly use the bootstrap for statistical inference, many of us have realized that the standard bootstrap, in general, does not work for Chatterjee's rank correlation. In this paper, we provide proof of this issue under…

We follow up on Shi et al's (2020) and Cao's and my (2020) work on the local power of a new test for independence, Chatterjee (2019), and its relation to the local power properties of classical tests. We show quite generally that for…

Chatterjee's rank correlation coefficient $\xi_n$ is an empirical index for detecting functional dependencies between two variables $X$ and $Y$. It is an estimator for a theoretical quantity $\xi$ that is zero for independence and one if…

Dette, Siburg, and Stoimenov (2013) introduced a copula-based measure of dependence, which implies independence if it vanishes and is equal to 1 if one variable is a measurable function of the other. For continuous distributions, the…
