Variables that are represented by neighboring vertices may be arbitrarily dependent, but collections of variables that form an independent set in $G$ are $t$-wise independent.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-06-12T15:06:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60C05" ], "keywords": [ "local dependencies", "t-wise independence", "large deviation bound", "dependency structure", "dependency graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0706.1637G" } } }
