Weighted Generalised Covariance Measure Conditional Independence Test
Description
A conditional independence test that can be applied both to univariate and multivariate random variables. The test is based on a weighted form of the sample covariance of the residuals after a nonlinear regression on the conditioning variables. Details are described in Scheidegger, Hoerrmann and Buehlmann (2022) "The Weighted Generalised Covariance Measure" <http://jmlr.org/papers/v23/21-1328.html>. The test is a generalisation of the Generalised Covariance Measure (GCM) implemented in the R package 'GeneralisedCovarianceMeasure' by Jonas Peters and Rajen D. Shah based on Shah and Peters (2020) "The Hardness of Conditional Independence Testing and the Generalised Covariance Measure" <doi:10.1214/19-AOS1857>.
