independent measurable partitions, of a space with a normalized measure

Two measurable partitions $\xi$ and $\eta$ such that if $B(\xi)$ and $B(\eta)$ are Boolean $\sigma$-algebras of measurable sets consisting entirely of elements of $\xi$ and $\nu$, respectively, then the elements of one of them are independent of the elements of the other in the sense of probability theory: $\mu(A\cap B)=\mu(A)\mu(B)$ for $A\in B(\xi)$, $B\in B(\eta)$. Under these conditions, if a measurable partition that is a refinement of both $\xi$ and $\eta$ coincides $\bmod\,0$ with the partition into single points, then $\xi$ and $\eta$ are said to be independent complements of one another. Conditions are known for a measurable partition of a Lebesgue space to have an independent complement.
