The Reciprocal Influence Criterion: An Upgrade of the Information Quality Ratio by Riccardo Rossi, Michela Gelfusa, Filippo De Masi, Matteo Ossidi, Andrea Murari

“…The Pearson correlation coefficient, the mutual information, and the information quality ratio are the most widely used indicators, only the last two being valid for nonlinear interactions. Given their limitations, a new criterion is proposed, the reciprocal influence criterion, which is very simple conceptually and does not make any assumption about the statistics of the stochastic variables involved. …”
