Let qn be a continuous density function in n-dimensional Euclidean space. We think of qn as the density function of some random sequence Xn with values in $\Bbb{R}^{n}$. For I⊂[1,n], let XI denote the collection of coordinates Xi, i∈I, and let $\widebar X_{I}$ denote the collection of coordinates Xi, i∉I. We denote by $Q_{I}(x_{I}|\bar{x}_{I})$ the joint conditional density function of XI, given $\widebar X_{I}$. We prove measure concentration for qn in the case when, for an appropriate class of sets I, (i) the conditional densities $Q_{I}(x_{I}|\bar{x}_{I})$, as functions of xI, uniformly satisfy a logarithmic Sobolev inequality and (ii) these conditional densities also satisfy a contractivity condition related to Dobrushin and Shlosman’s strong mixing condition.
