Abstract: Having observed an $mimesn$ matrix $X$ whose rows are possibly correlated, we wish to test the hypothesis that the columns are independent of each other. Our motivation comes from microarray studies, where the rows of $X$ record expression levels for $m$ different genes, often highly correlated, while the columns represent $n$ individual microarrays, presumably obtained independently. The presumption of independence underlies all the familiar permutation, cross-validation and bootstrap methods for microarray analysis, so it is important to know when independence fails. We develop nonparametric and normal-theory testing methods. The row and column correlations of $X$ interact with each other in a way that complicates test procedures, essentially by reducing the accuracy of the relevant estimators.
