What's the mathematical symbol to say "It doesn't depend on ..."?

3.1k Views Asked by At

If I want to say x doesn't exist I would use the symbol $\nexists$
If I want to say x is a member of... I would use $\in$

But what's the symbol to say y doesn't depend on x?

I know I could write something like y$\neq$f(x) but I'm looking for a single symbol, something more compact, without the f northe parenthesis.
Does it exist?
In fact f(x) represents a function, and we could have a relationship without a function.

OK, the notation already exists, and I have found it.

The book "Bayesian Reasoning and Machine Learning" provides a mathematical notation list, where it says: enter image description here

Then, this pi-like symbol, and the reversed pi mean that a variable is dependent or independent on other variable. I don't know if it's only used in a statistical framework or also in general in mathematics.

It's strange nobody knew it.
