Show HN: Pure C Implementation of the Chatarjee – Xi Correlation Coefficient

2 points by fforflo a day ago

The xi (ξ) correlation coefficient proposed by Chatterjee, quantifies the degree of dependence between two variables X, Y. It is 0 if and only if the variables are independent and 1 if and only if one is a measurable function of the other.

I played a bit today but couldn't find a pure C implementation, so I hacked one.
