Okay so has anyone on here tried using Chatterjee's new correlation coefficient (2020) to see if it effectively changes anything? I've been sitting on it and I'm about to test it myself. Wary of any new similarity measure on the block (especially for financial applications).

Related:What irks me the most is how they rarely if ever give large donations to public schools. They always always give money back to schools that are already ridiculously funded with massive endowments. Nobody questions that circular logic within these "elite" circles.
that's only going to exacerbate the problem. Shifting power looks like, e.g., getting more funding for San Jose state, a public school that primarily serves first gen students, to get funding when it's in an area swimming in $$$....
