mdc {EDMeasure} R Documentation

## Martingale Difference Correlation

### Description

mdc measures conditional mean dependence of Y given X, where each contains one variable (univariate) or more variables (multivariate).

### Usage

mdc(X, Y, center = "U")


### Arguments

 X A vector, matrix or data frame, where rows represent samples, and columns represent variables. Y A vector, matrix or data frame, where rows represent samples, and columns represent variables. center The approach for centering, including U: U-centering which leads to an unbiased estimator; D: double-centering which leads to a biased estimator.

### Value

mdc returns the squared martingale difference correlation of Y given X.

# X, Y are 10 x 2 matrices with 10 samples and 2 variables
X <- matrix(rnorm(10 * 2), 10, 2)
Y <- matrix(rnorm(10 * 2), 10, 2)
