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…
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…
Azadkia and Chatterjee (2021) recently introduced a simple nearest neighbor (NN) graph-based correlation coefficient that consistently detects both independence and functional dependence. Specifically, it approximates a measure of…

Azadkia and Chatterjee (Azadkia and Chatterjee, 2021) recently introduced a graph-based correlation coefficient that has garnered significant attention. The method relies on a nearest neighbor graph (NNG) constructed from the data. While…
A commonly used characteristic of statistical dependence of adjacency relations in real networks, the clustering coefficient, evaluates chances that two neighbours of a given vertex are adjacent. An extension is obtained by considering…
Clustered data are common in biomedical research. Observations in the same cluster are often more similar to each other than to observations from other clusters. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), first introduced by R. A.…
Selective rationalization has become a common mechanism to ensure that predictive models reveal how they use any available features. The selection may be soft or hard, and identifies a subset of input features relevant for prediction. The…
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…
Improving the detection of relevant variables using a new bivariate measure could importantly impact variable selection and large network inference methods. In this paper, we propose a new statistical coefficient that we call the rank…
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…
Ranking or assessing centrality in multivariate and non-Euclidean data is difficult because there is no canonical order and many depth notions become computationally fragile in high-dimensional or structured settings. We introduce a…
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…
Empirical studies in various social sciences often involve categorical outcomes with inherent ordering, such as self-evaluations of subjective well-being and self-assessments in health domains. While ordered choice models, such as the…
In the present paper, we first discuss the Kendall rank correlation coefficient. In continuous case, we define the Kendall rank correlation coefficient in terms of the concomitants of order statistics, find the expected value of the Kendall…
A fundamental task in statistical learning is quantifying the joint dependence or association between two continuous random variables. We introduce a novel, fully non-parametric measure that assesses the degree of association between…
Quantifying the strength of functional dependence between random scalars $X$ and $Y$ is an important statistical problem. While many existing correlation coefficients excel in identifying linear or monotone functional dependence, they fall…
We introduce a new approach to a linear-circular regression problem that relates multiple linear predictors to a circular response. We follow a modeling approach of a wrapped normal distribution that describes angular variables and angular…
In the causal learning setting, we wish to learn cause-and-effect relationships between variables such that we can correctly infer the effect of an intervention. While the difference between a cyclic structure and an acyclic structure may…
