Rank-based indices for testing independence between two high-dimensional vectors
利用秩指标检验两个高维向量的独立性
To test independence between two high-dimensional random vectors, we propose three tests based on the rank-based indices derived from Hoeffding’s D, Blum–Kiefer–Rosenblatt’s R and Bergsma–Dassios–Yanagimoto’s τ∗. Under the null hypothesis of independence, we show that the distributions of the proposed test statistics converge to normal ones if the dimensions diverge arbitrarily with the sample size. We further derive an explicit rate of convergence. Thanks to the monotone…
