The directional copula correlation ratio #

For uniform coordinates (U,V), the ratio is Var(E[V | U]) / Var(V). Since Var(V) = 1/12, it is twelve times the squared conditional-mean deviation from 1/2. This is the variance ratio itself, without a square root. It vanishes exactly when the conditional mean is constant; it need not detect independence. Regular conditional kernels also cover singular copulas.

Conditional mean of the second uniform coordinate given the first.

    Averaging a continuous function against the conditional laws recovers the uniform second marginal.

    The copula correlation ratio, predicting coordinate 1 from coordinate 0.

      Changing versions of the conditional kernel does not change the ratio.

      A measurable deterministic response has maximal correlation ratio.
