Conditioning On The Level of Measure Theory

Example. Let Y be a random variable distributed uniformly on (0,1), and X = f(Y) where f is a given function. Two cases are treated below: f = f1 and f = f2, where f1 is the continuous piecewise-linear function

f_1(y) = \begin{cases} 3y &\text{for } 0 \le y \le 1/3,\\ 1.5(1-y) &\text{for } 1/3 \le y \le 2/3,\\ 0.5 &\text{for } 2/3 \le y \le 1, \end{cases}

and f2 is the Weierstrass function.

    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.”
