pmdc: Partial Martingale Difference Correlation

In EDMeasure: Energy-Based Dependence Measures

Description

pmdc measures conditional mean dependence of Y given X adjusting for the dependence on Z, where each contains one variable (univariate) or more variables (multivariate). Only the U-centering approach is applied.

Usage

pmdc(X, Y, Z)

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.
Z	A vector, matrix or data frame, where rows represent samples, and columns represent variables.

Value

pmdc returns the squared partial martingale difference correlation of Y given X adjusting for the dependence on Z.

Examples

# X, Y, Z 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)
Z <- matrix(rnorm(10 * 2), 10, 2)
