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)

    “The truth is, that common-sense, or thought as it first emerges above the level of the narrowly practical, is deeply imbued with that bad logical quality to which the epithet metaphysical is commonly applied; and nothing can clear it up but a severe course of logic.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    “The theory seems to be that so long as a man is a failure he is one of God’s chillun, but that as soon as he has any luck he owes it to the Devil.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
