weightedGCM: Weighted Generalised Covariance Measure Conditional Independence Test

A conditional independence test that can be applied both to univariate and multivariate random variables. The test is based on a weighted form of the sample covariance of the residuals after a nonlinear regression on the conditioning variables. Details are described in Scheidegger, Hoerrmann and Buehlmann (2021) "The Weighted Generalised Covariance Measure" <arXiv:2111.04361>. The test is a generalisation of the Generalised Covariance Measure (GCM) implemented in the R package 'GeneralisedCovarianceMeasure' by Jonas Peters and Rajen D. Shah based on Shah and Peters (2020) "The Hardness of Conditional Independence Testing and the Generalised Covariance Measure" <arXiv:1804.07203>.
