Hoeffding's independence test
In statistics, Hoeffding's test of independence, named after Wassily Hoeffding, is a test based on the population measure of deviation from independence

where  is the joint distribution function of two random variables, and  and  are their marginal distribution functions.
Hoeffding derived an unbiased estimator of  that can be used to test for independence, and is consistent for any continuous alternative. The test should only be applied to data drawn from a continuous distribution, since  has a defect for discontinuous , namely that it is not necessarily zero when . This drawback can be overcome by taking an integration with respect to . This modified measure is known as Blum–Kiefer–Rosenblatt coefficient.

A paper published in 2008 describes both the calculation of a sample based version of this measure for use as a test statistic, and calculation of the null distribution of this test statistic.
