compInd: Complete Measure of Mutual Multivariate Independence

Description

Calculates a complete empirical measure of mutual multivariate independence. Makes use of the utils::combn function.

Usage

compInd(S,group=1:ncol(S),alpha=1)

Arguments

S

The n x d matrix for which you wish to calculate the dependence between d columns from n samples.

group

A length d vector which indicates group membership for each component.

alpha

The index used in calculating the distance between sample observations.

Value

• Returns a scalar equal to the empirical multivariate distance between the observed samples, and their grouped counterpart.
