Abstract

The aim of this paper is to establish some new properties of the conditional independence of a family of classes of events. On the one hand, we generalize some of the results by Van Putten and Van Schuppen [15], who considered the case of families with two elements, and, on the other hand, we generalize known results on independents families of classes of events. As an application, we give some properties of the conditional independence in a family of random variables.
