    Abstract

    We propose a new nonparametric test for the supposition of independence
    between two continuous random variables. The test is based on the size of the
    longest increasing subsequence of a random permutation. We identified the
    independence assumption between the two continuous variables with the space of
    permutation equipped with the uniform distribution and we show the exact
    distribution of the statistic. We calculate the distribution for several sample
    sizes.
