摘要
For a subset of the summands of U-statistics with kernel of size 2, based on n i.i.d: r.v.'s X1, ..., X(n), a concept of conditional independence is defined. Conditionally independent sets are completely characterized through graph theory, by constructing a graph corresponding to the given subset. The number of conditionally independent sets is shown to be related to the number of labelled forests on n vertices, and a counting formula for such forests is derived. A relation to Bell polynomials is pointed out.
