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…

We explore how the classical concordance measures - Kendall's $\tau$, Spearman's rank correlation $\rho$, and Spearman's footrule $\phi$ - relate to Chatterjee's rank correlation $\xi$ when restricted to lower semilinear copulas. First, we…

Chatterjee (2021)'s ingenious approach to estimating a measure of dependence first proposed by Dette et al. (2013) based on simple rank statistics has quickly caught attention. This measure of dependence has the unusual property of being…

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…

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…

Recent research in statistics has focused on dependence measures kappa(Y,X) taking values in [0, 1], where 0 characterizes independence of X and Y, and 1 perfect functional dependence of Y on X. One class of such measures consists of the…

Chatterjee's rank correlation \(\xi\) has emerged as a popular measure quantifying the strength of directed functional dependence between random variables $X$ and $Y$. If $X$ and $Y$ are continuous, $\xi$ equals Spearman's footrule~\(\psi\)…

The rank correlation \xi(X,Y), recently established by Sourav Chatterjee and already popular in the statistics literature, takes values in [0,1], where 0 characterizes independence of X and Y, and 1 characterizes perfect dependence of Y on…

We introduce a new dependence order, termed the conditional convex order, whose minimal and maximal elements characterize independence and perfect dependence. Moreover, it characterizes conditional independence, satisfies information…

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…

Establishing the limiting distribution of Chatterjee's rank correlation for a general, possibly non-independent, pair of random variables has been eagerly awaited by many. This paper shows that (a) Chatterjee's rank correlation is…

In recent work, Azadkia and Chatterjee (2021) laid out an ingenious approach to defining consistent measures of conditional dependence. Their fully nonparametric approach forms statistics based on ranks and nearest neighbor graphs. The…

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…

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…
