abstract = {A probability measure $\mu$ on the lattice $2^{[n]}$ is said to be positively associated if any two increasing functions on the lattice are positively correlated with respect to $\mu$. Pemantle asked whether, in order to establish positive association for a given mu, it might be sufficient to show positive correlation only for pairs of functions which depend on disjoint subsets of the ground set $[n]$. We answer Pemantle's question in the negative, by exhibiting a measure which gives positive correlation for pairs satisfying Pemantle's condition but not for general pairs of increasing functions.},
