Definition
For [math]f:\{-1,1\}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{\mathbb{R}} [/math] and [math]\rho∈[−1,1][/math], the noise stability of [math]f[/math] at [math]\rho[/math] is [math]Stab_{\rho}[f]=\underset{\underset{\rho-correlated}{(x,y)}}{\mathbb{E}}[f(x)f(y)][/math],
where [math] x [/math] and [math]y [/math] are [math]\rho[/math]-correlated if [math] y_{i}=\begin{cases}
x_{i} & with\space prabability\space \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\rho\\
-x_{i} & with\space prabability\space \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\rho
\end{cases}[/math]
Informally, the Stability tells us what is the chance for the function to stay the same when the input is under noise.
Properties
- In case of [math]f:\{-1,1\}^{n}\rightarrow \{-1,1\}[/math] , [math]Stab_{\rho}[f]=2\underset{\underset{\rho-correlated}{(x,y)}}{\mathbb{P}}[f(x)=f(y)]-1[/math]
- For [math]f:\{-1,1\}^{n}\rightarrow \{-1,1\}[/math], and for [math]\rho∈[0,1][/math] the connection to Noise Sensitivity is by [math]Stab_{\rho}[f]=1-2NS_{\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}\rho }[f][/math]
- The Majority function is assumed to be the least stable function among the Linear Threshold when [math]n[/math] is big and [math]\rho[/math] is small.
