Hello there,

I put together a Julia package implementing the Hoeffding Dependence measure for the ones that could be interested.  
There are some Matlab, R, Python, and SAS implementations, but I could not find one in Julia.  
The package is available here: [GitHub - ericqu/HoeffdingD: HoeffdingD.jl implements in pure Julia the Hoeffding measure of dependence.](https://github.com/ericqu/HoeffdingD).

If you have any questions/suggestions, please let me know.  
Because this is a relatively obscure statistical measure, I don’t think it is useful to integrate it in StatsBase. But I was thinking of having a post to find the package if someone searches for it.

I hope this is alright. I am new here, so that I could have done a few things wrongly; if so, please let me know I will try to fix them.

Eric
