English term or phrase: if they were independent
We define "Lift" as
Lift (X & Y) = pct (X & Y) / ( pct (X) * pct (Y) )
where pct(X) is the percent of users who selected X.
Lift (X&Y) > 1 indicates that X&Y appear together more than expected {if they were independent},
Lift=1 if X & Y appear with frequency expected if they are independent, and
Lift < 1 if X & Y appear together less than expected (negatively correlated)
{如果X和Y是独立的(工具)},X和Y出现在一起的频率之高超乎预期?

这个译文正确,但是if they were independent的过去时是否应该反映出来?例如:

如果X和Y曾是独立的(工具)}


(下一句是现在时)

Copierd from your discussion entry:
"我们将“Lift”定义为:
Lift(X & Y)= pct(X & Y)/( pct (X)* pct(Y))
其中,pct(X)是选择X的用户的百分比。
Lift(X&Y)> 1表示,如果X和Y是独立的工具,X和Y出现在一起的频率之高超乎预料;
Lift=1表示,如果X和Y是独立的工具,X和Y出现在一起的频率在预料之中;
Lift < 1表示,X和Y出现在一起的频率之低超乎预料(负相关)。"

完全正确,但突然想到if they were independent是虚拟语气吧?也就是“假如”的意思。
