Is the newer descriptive statistic (distance correlation) able to resolve these troubling four datasets (Anscombe’s quartet)?

    An interesting question. But may I suggest you first to compute it for Anscombe’s quartet datasets? Having the coefficient values before your eyes you might answer your own Q, or might generate specific issues to ask here. – ttnphns Jan 07 '17 at 08:29

Yes, the distance correlation values are different, respectively:

  1. 0.8239139
  2. 0.8688329
  3. 0.9064762
  4. 0.8067981

Code
