Probability Measures
Probability measures:
- We have already seen that when the sample space Ω is countable, this can be accom by assigning probabilities to individual elements ω ∈Ω. However, as discussed before, this does not work when Ω is uncountable.
- We are then led to assign probabilities to certain subsets of Ω, specifically to the elements of a σ-field F, and require that these probabilities have certain “natural” properties. Besides probability measures, it is convenient to define the notion of a mea sure more generally.
