Abstract

The notion of g-monotone dependence function introduced in [4] generalizes the notions of the monotone dependence function and the quantile monotone dependence function defined in [2], [3] and [6]. In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour of sample g-monotone dependence functions and their strong properties.

Keywords

sample, monotone dependence functions, measures of dependence, strong law of large numbers, quantile, independent, positively (negatively) quadrant dependent random variables
