Convexity and measures of statistical association
凸性与统计关联度量
Abstract Recent investigations on the measures of statistical association highlight essential properties such as zero-independence (the measure is zero if and only if the random variables are independent), monotonicity under information refinement, and max-functionality (the measure of association is maximal if and only if we are in the presence of a deterministic (noiseless) dependence). An open question concerns the reasons why measures of statistical associations satisfy…
