Abstract: | In this article, we obtained a dependence measure for generalized Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family in view of Kochar and Gupta (1987 Kochar , S. G. , Gupta , R. P. ( 1987 ). Competitors of Kendall-tau test for testing independence against PQD . Biometrika 74 ( 3 ): 664 – 669 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) and then compared this measure with Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau in FGM family. Moreover, we evaluated the empirical power of the class of distribution-free tests proposed by Kochar and Gupta (1987 Kochar , S. G. , Gupta , R. P. ( 1987 ). Competitors of Kendall-tau test for testing independence against PQD . Biometrika 74 ( 3 ): 664 – 669 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 1990 Kochar , S. G. , Gupta , R. P. ( 1990 ). Distribution-free tests based on sub-sample extrema for testing against positive dependence . Australian Journal of Statistics 32 : 45 – 51 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) based on exact distribution of a U-statistics. This is derived via a simulation study for sample of sizes n = 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20. Also, we compared our simulation results with those achieved by Amini et al. (2010 Amini , M. , Jabbari , H. , Mohtashami Borzadaran , G. R. , Azadbakhsh , M. ( 2010 ). Power comparison of independence test for the Farlie-Gumbel-Moregenstern family .
