This paper introduces a new criteria to check for independence of two random variables once their joint probability density function is known. The proposed procedure results in an easier way to verify stochastic independence compared to commonly used in statistical literature. Both continous and discrete variables are considered. In the former case it is assumed that the domain for one variable does not depend on the other.
