t-Wise Independence with Local Dependencies, Information Processing Letters

Abstract

In this note we prove a large deviation bound on the sum of random variables with the following dependency structure: there is a dependency graph G with a bounded chromatic number, in which each vertex represents a random variable. 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.
