Motivated by some common-change point tests, we investigate the asymptotic distribution of the U-statistic process $U_n(t)=\sum_{i=1}^{[nt]}\sum_{j=[nt]+1}^n h(X_i,X_j)$, $0\leq t\leq 1$, when the underlying data are long-range dependent.…

A new computationally efficient dependence measure, and an adaptive statistical test of independence, are proposed. The dependence measure is the difference between analytic embeddings of the joint distribution and the product of the…
