Distance correlation is a new measure of dependence between random vectors. Distance covariance and distance correlation are analogous to product-moment covariance and correlation, but unlike the classical definition of correlation,…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of deciding whether two standard normal random vectors $\mathsf{X}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and $\mathsf{Y}\in\mathbb{R}^{n}$ are correlated or not. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem,…

In the present paper, we propose a new rank correlation coefficient $r_n$, which is a sample analogue of the theoretical correlation coefficient $r$, which, in turn, was proposed in the recent work of Stepanov (2025b). We discuss the…

In this work, we show that Spearman's correlation coefficient test about $H_0:\rho_s=0$ found in most statistical software packages is theoretically incorrect and performs poorly when bivariate normality assumptions are not met or the…

In this paper, a robust non-parametric measure of statistical dependence, or correlation, between two random variables is presented. The proposed coefficient is a permutation-like statistic that quantifies how much the observed sample S_n :…

We propose a coefficient of conditional dependence between two random variables $Y$ and $Z$ given a set of other variables $X_1,\ldots,X_p$, based on an i.i.d. sample. The coefficient has a long list of desirable properties, the most…

This paper proposes a new statistic to test independence between two high dimensional random vectors ${\mathbf{X}}:p_1\times1$ and ${\mathbf{Y}}:p_2\times1$. The proposed statistic is based on the sum of regularized sample canonical…

Classical dependence measures such as Pearson correlation, Spearman's $\rho$, and Kendall's $\tau$ can detect only monotonic or linear dependence. To overcome these limitations, Szekely et al.(2007) proposed distance covariance as a…

When two variables are related by a known function, the coefficient of determination (denoted $R^2$) measures the proportion of the total variance in the observations that is explained by that function. This quantifies the strength of the…

When Gaussian copula with linear correlation coefficient is used to model correlated random variables, one crucial issue is to determine a suitable correlation coefficient $\rho_z$ in normal space for two variables with correlation…

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…

This article proposes a new index for quantifying the degree of dependence between random vectors. The index takes values in [0,1] and equals zero if and only if the random vectors are sub-independent. Unlike mere uncorrelatedness,…
