Shannon's mutual information has some nice and some
peculiar properties, see pages 321-323, Probabilistic Reasoning

Dear UAI colleagues,
Could someone please point me to references on different measures of
dependence between random variables? I am familiar with
covariance/correlation coefficient that measures linear dependence between
variables. What else is out there that is being used by the Bayes net
learning community? Thanks in advance for the pointers.
