Symmetries of the CDF discrepancy coefficients #

The coefficients of Copula.Measures.CDFDistance (Hoeffding's D, Blum–Kiefer–Rosenblatt R, Bergsma–Dassios τ*, distance correlation) as well as the Schweizer–Wolff σ and Hoeffding's Φ² are invariant under transposition and under reflecting one coordinate (Nelsen, An Introduction to Copulas, 2nd ed., §5.3: measures of dependence are invariant under (U,V) ↦ (U, 1 - V)).

The Schweizer–Wolff σ is invariant under reflecting the second coordinate.

The Schweizer–Wolff σ is invariant under reflecting the first coordinate.

Hoeffding's Φ² is invariant under reflecting the second coordinate.

Hoeffding's Φ² is invariant under reflecting the first coordinate.
