4. APPLICATION TO ESTIMATING CONSISTENT MEASURES OF DEPENDENCE Within numerous of applications, e.g. system identification, consistent measures of dependence of random processes play an important role. As known, following to the Kolmogorov terminology, a measure of dependence of two random processes is said to be consistent if it vanishes if and only if the random processes are stochastically independent. For a case of system identification, using consistent measures of stochastic dependence of random processes is a natural way to establish an approximate empirical input/output relationship describing the system model. Hence, a significant feature of such an approach to system identification is just the choice of an appropriate measure of stochastic dependence between the input and output processes. Among various measures of dependence, the product correlation, as it has already been noted, is well known and commonly used. However, the ordinary product correlation of random values Y and X may vanish even if the random values are completely dependent, i.e. if there exists a deterministic function f () such that Y  f (X ) with probability 1 (Rajbman, 1981, Rényi, 1959). Rényi (1959) has presented seven axioms that were recognized to be the most natural to describe a measure of dependence   X , Y  between two random values X and Y. A)   X , Y  is defined for any pair of random values X and Y, neither of them being constant with probability 1. B)   X , Y  =  Y , X  . C) D) E)

0   X ,Y   1 .   X , Y   0 if and only if X and Y are independent.   X , Y   1 if there exists a strict dependence between X and

Y, i.e. either Y   (X ) or X   (Y ) where  and  are Borel-measurable functions. F) If a Borel-measurable functions  and  map the real axis in a one-to-one way onto itself,   ( X ), (Y )     X , Y  . G) If the joint distribution of X and Y is normal, then   X , Y   r  X , Y  , where r  X , Y  is the ordinary correlation coefficient of X and Y. In along with the ordinary correlation coefficient, commonly used measures of dependence are the correlation ratio

functions (Rajbman, 1981) may be considered as a modification and extension of the correlation ratio. In turn, the maximal correlation coefficient is transformed to the following function

S yx ( )  sup

,  t  s B , C  var B  y (t ) var C  x ( s )  The functional S yx ( ) is referred as the maximal correlation function of the random processes y (t ) and x( s ) . The notion of the maximal correlation as a measure of dependence has been originally introduced and investigated for random values by Rényi (1959), Sarmanov (1963a) and extended to random processes by Sarmanov (1963b). A significant disadvantage of S  X , Y  is concerned with considerable computational difficulties under its calculation by use of observed sampled data x k , y k  , k  1,2, of the random val-

ues  X , Y  . These difficulties are of course resides in the maximal

correlation function S yx ( ) . To avoid the disadvantage and simultaneously to use a consistent measure of dependence within a problem statement, some restrictive assumptions with respect to such a measure of dependence are needed to be imposed. In particular, for sign-constant random processes (Ovsepyan and Lepsky, 1987), i.e. the processes that do not alter their signs with probability 1, the results of (Ovsepyan and Lepsky, 1987) may be applied. Namely, the quantity  yx  defined as

meets the above axioms A to G except B for any sign-constant random processes y (t ) and x (s ) with non-zero variances and finite fourth moments. One should be noted that axiom B (symmetry) does not play a significant role within majority of applications. In contrast to the maximal correlation,  yx   can be effectively calculated using sampled data in accordance to the methodology derived in the preceding Section. In terms of probability distribution densities, the corresponding values in (10) are (generically) of the form 

However, the only S  X , Y  has been shown by Rényi (1959) to

satisfy all the above axioms, while r  X , Y  and   X , Y  do not, in particularly axioms D, E, F are not met for the correlation coefficient, and axioms D, F are not met for the correlation ratio. Under investigation of random processes, the above coefficients are transformed to the corresponding functions. As pointed out above, the ordinary product correlation functions are not the exhaustive tool to be used within identification problems. The above dispersion 1782

Thus obtained, the formulae are applied to constructing the sampled estimates of measure of dependence (10). 5. CONCLUSIONS A problem of estimating some measures of stochastic dependence of random processes has been considered. In particular, a measure coupling k pairs of stationary and joint stationary in the strict sense ergodic random processes has been introduced, and strongly consistent, i.e. converging with probability 1, nonparametric estimates of such a measure have been obtained. These estimates has been applied to deriving sampled analogues of a nonlinear measure of stochastic dependence of sign-constant random processes, for which the measure of dependence is the consistent one in the Kolmogorov sense, i.e. vanishing if and only if the random processes are stochastically independent.
