What is the distance correlation for Anscombe’s quartet?

Question

Is the newer descriptive statistic (distance correlation) able to resolve these troubling four datasets (Anscombe’s quartet)?

An interesting question. But may I suggest you first to [compute](http://stats.stackexchange.com/a/183930/3277) it for Anscombe’s quartet datasets? Having the coefficient values before your eyes you might answer your own Q, or might generate specific issues to ask here. — ttnphns, Jan 07 '17 at 08:29
