Abstract

We study collections of random variables characterized by independence requirements assigned for only a fraction of the joint values of the variables. Such classes of random variables generalize various known models, like one-dependent processes. We determine existence conditions, showing that existence is decidable, and then interpret such conditions in terms ofDutch Books.As an example, a newlow density based independence model is being developed, exhibiting a phase transition in the vacuum probability.
