Dear Colleagues,

The topic "independence/dependence" of random events and random variables
was and is among my favourite ones during the last 15 years.

I have proposed a new idea how to analyze the independence/dependence
properties of a collection of random elements and have established some
striking results in the area.

Also I proposed a "Dependency Measure", i.e. an easy way to calculate
how much is the dependency in a given collection of random elements. It
is a single number between 0 and 1... Many people found this interesting
and useful...
 
You may look at my book:
 
Stoyanov, J: "Counterexamples in Probability", 2nd ed, John Wiley &
Sons, 1997

or at my papers (sorry not on www...):

in "The American Statistician", vol 47 (1993), pp. 112-115

in "Statist & Probab Letters", vol 23 (1995), pp. 108-115
 
and in the book "Stochastic Processes and Related Topics" (In Memory
of S Cambanis). Eds Karatzas, I. et all Birkhauser, Boston, 1998,
pp. 257-275.
 
I have also something more which is interesting but still not published.
 
There are, of course, related works by others.

I would like to know about similar work of colleagues.
