E-statistics (energy statistics) CRAN Task View: Multivariate (http://CRAN.R-project.org/view=Multivariate) E-statistics (energy) tests and statistics for comparing distributions: multivariate normality, multivariate distance components and k-sample test for equal distributions, hierarchical clustering by e-distances, multivariate independence tests, distance correlation, goodness-of-fit tests. Energy-statistics concept based on a generalization of Newton's potential energy is due to Gabor J. Szekely. Software Depends: boot, MASS Maria Rizzo <mrizzo@bgsu.edu> Maria L. Rizzo and Gabor J.
