dcor: distance correlation and energy statistics in Python.

E-statistics are functions of distances between statistical observations in metric spaces.

Distance covariance and distance correlation are dependency measures between random vectors introduced in [SRB07]_ with a simple E-statistic estimator.

This package offers functions for calculating several E-statistics such as:

It also provides tests based on these E-statistics:

Installation

dcor is on PyPi and can be installed using :code:pip:

.. code::

pip install dcor

It is also available for :code:conda using the :code:conda-forge channel:

.. code::

conda install -c conda-forge dcor

Previous versions of the package were in the :code:vnmabus channel. This channel will not be updated with new releases, and users are recommended to use the :code:conda-forge channel.

Requirements

dcor is available in Python 3.8 or above in all operating systems. The package dcor depends on the following libraries:
