You’ve lost me now. [General Sta­tis­tics]

Hi ElMaestro,

❝ Let us go over it again:

❝ Let x be our sample.

❝ Let f(x|other shit) be a function of x, given some other shit.

❝ Let g(x|other shit) be another function of x, given the same other shit.

Like this (or any other funny transformation)?

other.shit <- function(x, funny) {   eval(funny) } x <- rnorm(100, mean = 100, sd = 20) f <- other.shit(x, funny = x^2) g <- other.shit(x, funny = sqrt(x)) cor(f, g) plot(f, g, las = 1, xlab = "f(x)", ylab = "g(x)")

❝ In general (and ideally layman's) terms, what properties of f and g would lead me to think f and g are independent.

❝ I assume it is implied that we are talking about independence from each other, at least when we try and think of f and g as numerators and denominators of the quantity defining t above. When this is the wrong perception, kindly correct me, please.

Completely confused. Can you try again, please?

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question “How?”
but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question “Why?”    Erwin Chargaff
