  The Maximal Information Coefficient (MIC) of Reshef et al. (Science, 2011) is
a statistic for measuring dependence between variable pairs in large datasets.
In this note, we prove that MIC is a consistent estimator of the corresponding
population statistic MIC$_*$. This corrects an error in an argument of Reshef
et al. (JMLR, 2016), which we describe.
