球散度：非参数两样本检验AI 解读

In this paper, we first introduce Ball Divergence, a novel measure of the difference between two probability measures in separable Banach spaces, and show that the Ball Divergence of two probability measures is zero if and only if these two probability measures are identical without any moment assumption. Using Ball Divergence, we present a metric rank test procedure to detect the equality of distribution measures underlying independent samples. It is therefore robust to…

Statistical inference on conditional dependence is essential in many fields including genetic association studies and graphical models. The classic measures focus on linear conditional correlations, and are incapable of characterizing non-linear conditional relationship including non-monotonic relationship. To overcome this limitation, we introduces a nonparametric measure of conditional dependence for multivariate random variables with arbitrary dimensions. Our measure…
