Consistent Distribution-Free $K$-Sample and Independence Tests for Univariate Random Variables
A popular approach for testing if two univariate random variables are statistically independent consists of partitioning the sample space into bins, and evaluating a test statistic on the binned data. The partition size matters, and the optimal partition size is data dependent. While for detecting simple relationships coarse partitions may be best, for detecting complex relationships a great ga...
متن کاملConsistent Nonparametric Tests of Independence
Three simple and explicit procedures for testing the independence of two multi-dimensional random variables are described. Two of the associated test statistics (L1, log-likelihood) are defined when the empirical distribution of the variables is restricted to finite partitions. A third test statistic is defined as a kernel-based independence measure. Two kinds of tests are provided. Distributio...
متن کاملOn the Permutation Distribution of Independence Tests
One of the most popular class of tests for independence between two random variables is the general class of rank statistics which are invariant under permutations. This class contains Spearman’s coefficient of rank correlation statistic, Fisher-Yates statistic, weighted Mann statistic and others. Under the null hypothesis of independence these test statistics have a permutation distribution th...
متن کاملMonge-Kantorovich depth, quantiles, ranks and signs
We propose new concepts of statistical depth, multivariate quantiles, ranks and signs, based on canonical transportation maps between a distribution of interest on IR and a reference distribution on the d-dimensional unit ball. The new depth concept, called Monge-Kantorovich depth, specializes to halfspace depth in the case of elliptical distributions, but, for more general distributions, diffe...
متن کاملtestforDEP: An R Package for distribution-free tests and visualization tools for independence
This article introduces testforDEP, a portmanteau R package containing several tests and visualization tools to examine independence between two variables. This new package combines classical tests including Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient method, Kendall’s τ rank correlation coefficient method and Spearman’s ρ rank correlation coefficient method with modern tests consisting of...
