We prove that a suitably de-biased version of Chatterjee's rank correlation based on i.i.d. copies of a random vector $(X,Y)$ is asymptotically normal whenever $Y$ is not almost surely constant. No further conditions on the joint…

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…

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…

Chatterjee's correlation coefficient has recently been proposed as a new association measure for bivariate random vectors that satisfies a number of desirable properties. Among these properties is the feature that the coefficient equals one…

Recently, Chatterjee (2023) recognized the lack of a direct generalization of his rank correlation $\xi$ in Azadkia and Chatterjee (2021) to a multi-dimensional response vector. As a natural solution to this problem, we here propose an…

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…

The Azadkia-Chatterjee coefficient is a rank-based measure of dependence between a random variable $Y \in \mathbb{R}$ and a random vector ${\boldsymbol Z} \in \mathbb{R}^{d_Z}$. In this paper, we propose a multivariate extension that…

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…

We prove that an $m$ out of $n$ bootstrap procedure for Chatterjee's rank correlation is consistent whenever asymptotic normality of Chatterjee's rank correlation can be established. In particular, we prove that $m$ out of $n$ bootstrap…

Recently, Chatterjee has introduced a new coefficient of correlation which has several natural properties. In particular, the coefficient attains its maximal value if and only if one variable is a measurable function of the other variable.…

Azadkia and Chatterjee (2021) recently introduced a simple nearest neighbor (NN) graph-based correlation coefficient that consistently detects both independence and functional dependence. Specifically, it approximates a measure of…
