Negative correlation of antitone and monotone functions #
[UPSTREAM] The Fortuin–Kasteleyn–Ginibre inequality (fkg) says that under a log-supermodular
weight two monotone functions are positively correlated. Replacing one of them by its
reflection gives the negative form: an antitone and a monotone function are negatively
correlated, so reweighting by an antitone factor lowers the mass of every upper set.
