The reference below describes the utility of the two-dimensional
Kolmogorov-Smirnow (2DKS) test for detecting relationships in bivariate data. If this test has been implemented in R I would love to know about
it!


I have not been able to find an R implementation. (Tried RSiteSearch and RSeek with "2d kolmogorov" and pursued promising links and citations. This 2005 article suggests that it is not a simple (or even a well-defined) problem:

This effort at a parallelized solution reports little improvement, perhaps supporting the Lopes, el al conclusion that the Cooks algorithm is not O(n*log(n) after all.

And this is a page with a link to some Matlab code:

Thanks,
