Dilution by independence #

For the mixture a C + (1 - a) Π the deviation from independence scales by a, so σ scales by a, Φ² and R by a². Hoeffding's D and Blum–Kiefer–Rosenblatt R have different mixture laws because their integrating measures differ; the identities below distinguish the two definitions even when they happen to agree on a particular parametric family.

Φ²(a C + (1 - a) Π) = a² Φ²(C).
