Prakash,
   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.
