• Kendall rank correlation
• Normal absolute difference
• Kruskal-Wallis test
• Friedman test
• Hurst coefficient
• H parameter
• Correlation
• Asymmetry
• Excess

Portfolio affinity matrix example

Log relation analysis
• Discovery of symbol dependencies
• Calculates cross correlation of selected
symbol with other symbols in portfolio over a
range of time lags
• If strong correlation exists, then correlated
symbol can serve as a predictor in multiple
regression model
• Multiple classical and nonparametric
proximity measures
