Abstract:  We explore the idea of transferring global measures of dependence
between random variables X_1,...,X_n into measures of dependence relative to any
point (x_1,...,x_n) from the sample space of the given variables. It allows the
study of  behavior of these global measures throughout the sample space, and
better understanding and use of measures of dependence. Some examples will be
given and possible directions of future development will be sketched.
