Hello - For denoting independent random variables, there doesn't seem to be
any standard notation in the statistical literature other than "i.i.d." to
refer to a group of independently identically distributed RV's. I have
occasionally used something like
o
X | Y
as a shorthand meaning "X and Y are independent". I am curious as to what
other symbols people use to denote independent random variables - or for
that matter a group of mutually independent RV's.
