Three important projection-pursuit correlations, namely, distance cor1 relation, projection correlation and the multivariate Blum-Kiefer-Rosenblatt (BKR) 2 correlation, have been proposed in the literature to test independence between 3 two random vectors in arbitrary dimensions. In this paper we compare the asymp4 totic power performance of independence tests built upon these three projection5 pursuit correlations in a uniform sense. We show that, in the presence of outliers, 6 the projection correlation test and the multivariate BKR correlation test are still 7 powerful, whereas the distance correlation test may lose power. We also analyze 8 the minimax optimality of these independence tests. We show that their mini9 mum separation rates are of order n−1, where n stands for the sample size, and 10 this minimax optimal rate is tight in terms of projection correlation, distance 11 correlation and multivariate BKR correlation, respectively. 12
