# BNNPT software C++ version usage:

# Firstly, you should unzip the "BNNPT-software-manual.zip".

# Secondly and lastly, you should type in the command "chmod 777 BNNPT" in a terminal window of Linux system (before this, you should cd ~/Desktop/BNNPT-software-manual/).

# Congratulations ! Now you can use our BNNPT software according to our "BNNPT_Manual.pdf".

# Enjoy ! Thanks.


#Examples 
# example_X is sampled from U(-1,1), example_Y = sin(Pi*example_X)+ N(0,1), Sample_size=50.
# Test nonlinear dependence between example_X and example_Y
# Use BNNPT to test nonlinear dependence and save the pvalue to pvalue.txt
# Command in a terminal window of Linux system (before this, you should cd ~/Desktop/BNNPT-software-manual/)
  ./BNNPT example_X example_Y -p 100000 -b 256 >pvalue.txt
# Output pvalue 
# pvalue = 0.002 (maybe different because of permutations)
Note: The BNNPT software C++ version just support Linux Systems for now.



#Updates 1 of BNNPT:
The BNNPT.7z is the updated software, it can also output Pearson's correlation coefficient file except our BNNPT's permutation p-value.



#Updates 2 of BNNPT:
We also added the R packages of BNNPT: BNNPT_3.2.1.tar.gz for Linux and BNNPT_3.2.1.zip for Windows System.
#The open-source R Package of BNNPT : https://github.com/liyistat/BNNPT
