A test of general asymmetric dependence
一般非对称依赖的检验
Summary We propose a modified mutual information measure to capture general asymmetric dependence between two random variables. Based on this measure, we propose a test of asymmetric dependence and examine its finite‐sample performance. We show that our test has better power than competing tests with alternative dependence measures. Using the new test, we find significant asymmetric dependence in returns of commonly used stock portfolios and the market return both in the US…
