Approximation with Independent Variables

Abstract

Given a square integrable m-dimensional random variable XX on a probability space (Ω.F,Pr)(\Omega.\mathcal F,\Pr) and a sub sigma algebra A\mathcal A, we show that there exists another m-dimensional random variable YY, independent of A\mathcal A and minimising the L2L^2 distance to XX. Such results have an importance to fairness and bias reduction in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Network Theory.
