TY - JOUR A1 - Matilla García, Mariano AU - Ruiz Marín, Manuel T1 - A non-parametric independence test using permutation entropy Y1 - 2008 SN - 0304-4076 UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10317/936 AB - In the present paper we construct a new, simple and powerful test for independence by using symbolic dynamics and permutation entropy as a measure of serial dependence. We also give the asymptotic distribution of an affine transformation of the permutation entropy under the null hypothesis of independence. An application to several daily financial time series illustrates our approach.
