knnAUC: an open-source R package for detecting nonlinear dependence between one continuous variable and one binary variable

Abstract Background Testing the dependence of two variables is one of the fundamental tasks in statistics. In this work, we developed an open-source R package (knnAUC) for detecting nonlinear dependence between one continuous variable X and one binary dependent variables Y (0 or 1). Results We addre...
