Abstract
The concept of statistical “equitability” plays a central role in the 2011 paper by Reshef et al. (1). Formalizing equitability first requires formalizing the notion of a “noisy functional relationship,” that is, a relationship between two real variables, X and Y, having the form Y=f(X)+η, where f is a function and η is a noise term. Whether a dependence measure satisfies equitability strongly depends on what mathematical properties the noise term η is allowed to have: the narrower one’s definition of noise, the weaker the equitability criterion becomes.
