dcov {dcov}

Distance covariance

Description

This method implements the method to compute the value of distance covariance proposed by Székely et al.(2007) and Székely and Rizzo(2013) by Armadillo library. For distance covariance between two one dimensional variables, the fast algorithm proposed by Huo and Székely(2016) is used.

Usage

dcov(x, y, type = c("V", "U"))

dcor(x, y, type = c("V", "U"))

Arguments

x

the matrix of x

y

the matrix of y

type

"V" or "U", for V- or U-statistics of distance covariance or correlation. The default value is "V".

Note

Note that the result of dcov(x,y,"V") and dcor(x,y,"V") is same with the result of energy::dcov(x,y)^2 and energy::dcor(x,y)^2. The result of dcov(x,y,'U') and dcor(x,y,'U') is same with the result of energy::dcovU(x,y) and energy::bcdcor(x,y).
