For a strictly positive law μ satisfying the FKG lattice condition on a finite Boolean lattice, and an increasing function g, tilt to μt​(ω)∝etg(ω)μ(ω). For t≥0, the lattice inequality and g(ω∨η)≥g(ω) give the Holley condition for μt​≥st​μ. For any increasing f, differentiate Eμt​​f≥Eμ​f at t=0 from the right. The derivative is Covμ​(f,g), proving positive association of random variables.
