👉 In probability theory and statistics, a pseudoindependent random variable (or pseudoreference) is an event or a subset of events that are independent given the entire probability distribution of the underlying variables. This means that if two events are dependent, then any combination of them is also dependent on each other. For example, if we have two events A and B, where A and B are mutually exclusive (meaning they cannot both occur at the same time), then P(A or B) = 0
