    A versatile heuristic test for independence
    (Massey University, 2003) Bracewell, Paul J.
    A functionally independent heuristic test of independence is developed, explored and validated. Initially, a parametric method is described, before superior non-parametric methods that account for variations in skewness, kurtosis and sample size are obtained. This evolves into a multivariate procedure, which enables thte importance of input variables to be established.
