Pearson's correlation is an important summary measure of the amount of dependence between two variables. It is natural to want to generalise the concept of correlation as a single number that measures the inter-relatedness of three or more…

We provide an epsilon-delta interpretation of Chatterjee's rank correlation by tracing its origin to a notion of local dependence between random variables. Starting from a primitive epsilon-delta construction, we show that rank-based…

We introduce a correlation coefficient that is designed to deal with a variety of ranking formats including those containing non-strict (i.e., with-ties) and incomplete (i.e., unknown) preferences. The correlation coefficient is designed to…
