We introduce the Randomized Dependence Coefficient (RDC), a measure of non-linear dependence between random variables of arbitrary dimension based on the Hirschfeld-Gebelein-R\'enyi Maximum Correlation Coefficient. RDC is defined in terms…

We study the maximal correlation coefficient $R(X,Y)$ between two stochastic processes $X$ and $Y$. In the case when $(X,Y)$ is a random walk, we find $R(X,Y)$ using the Cs\'{a}ki-Fischer identity and the lower semicontinuity of the map…

The Pearson correlation, correlation ratio, and maximal correlation have been well-studied in the literature. In this paper, we study the conditional versions of these quantities. We extend the most important properties of the unconditional…

In statistics, the Pearson correlation coefficient $r_{x,y}$ determines the degree of linear correlation between two variables and it is known that $-1 \le r_{x,y} \le 1$. In the theory of networks, a curious expression proposed in [PRL…

The problem of determining the joint probability distributions for correlated random variables with pre-specified marginals is considered. When the joint distribution satisfying all the required conditions is not unique, the "most unbiased"…

Corresponding to $n$ independent non-negative random variables $X_1,...,X_n$, are values $M_1,...,M_n$, where each $M_i$ is the expected value of the maximum of $n$ independent copies of $X_i$. We obtain an upper bound to the expected value…

George R. Terrell (1983, {Ann. Probab., vol. 11(3), pp. 823--826) showed that the Pearson coefficient of correlation of an ordered pair from a random sample of size two is at most one-half, and the equality is attained only for rectangular…

We give the distribution function of $M_n$, the maximum of a sequence of $n$ observations from an autoregressive process of order 2. Solutions are first given in terms of repeated integrals and then for the case, where the underlying random…

In this paper, we considier the limiting distribution of the maximum interpoint Euclidean distance $M_n=\max _{1 \leq i<j \leq n}\left\|\boldsymbol{X}_i-\boldsymbol{X}_j\right\|$, where $\boldsymbol{X}_1, \boldsymbol{X}_2, \ldots,…

A finite-support constraint on the parameter space is used to derive a lower bound on the error of an estimator of the correlation coefficient in the bivariate exponential distribution. The bound is then exploited to examine optimality of…

Measuring the correlation (association) between two random variables is one of the important goals in statistical applications. In the literature, the covariance between two random variables is a widely used criterion in measuring the…

We define a Maximum Likelihood (ML for short) estimator for the correlation function, {\xi}, that uses the same pair counting observables (D, R, DD, DR, RR) as the standard Landy and Szalay (1993, LS for short) estimator. The ML estimator…
