Gábor J. Székely (born February 4, 1947 in Budapest) is a Hungarian-American statistician/mathematician best known for introducing the Energy of data [see E-statistics or Package energy in R (programming language)], e.g. the distance correlation which is a bona fide dependence measure, equals zero exactly when the variables are independent, the distance skewness which equals zero exactly when the probability distribution is diagonally symmetric, the E-statistic for normality test and the E-statistic for clustering.
