Testing independence by nonparametric kernel method Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Using nonparametric kernel estimation method, we propose a consistent test for independence of two random vectors based on the L2 norm of difference between the joint density and the product of their marginals. A Monte Carlo study is carried out to examine the finite sample performance of the proposed test.
