Detecting dependence between two random variables is a fundamental problem. Although the Pearson correlation is effective for capturing linear dependency, it can be entirely powerless for detecting nonlinear and/or heteroscedastic patterns.…

This paper suggests five measures of association between two random vectors X = (X_1, ..., X_p) and Y = (Y_1, ..., Y_q). They are copula based and therefore invariant with respect to the marginal distributions of the components X_i and Y_j.…
