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.

Famous quotes containing the words conditioning, level, measure and/or theory:

    “The climacteric marks the end of apologizing. The chrysalis of conditioning has once for all to break and the female woman finally to emerge.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “To Time it never seems that he is brave
    To set himself against the peaks of snow
    To lay them level with the running wave,
    Nor is he overjoyed when they lie low,
    But only grave, contemplative and grave.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “REASON, is half of it, SENSE; and the measure of heaven itself is but the measure of our present appetites and concoctions.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    “every subjective phenomenon is essentially connected with a single point of view, and it seems inevitable that an objective, physical theory will abandon that point of view.”
    —Thomas Nagel (b. 1938)
