Description

Simulate the Random Variable operating on the Sample space, and the measure induced by Random variable will be float.

In the formal mathematical language of measure theory, a random variable is defined as a measurable function from a probability measure space (called the sample space) to a measurable space.

Constructor Description Link
RandomVariable( probability_distributionn: ProbabilityDistribution, sample_space: SampleSpace) Initialize Random variable with Probability distribution and Sample Space its operating on.
probability_distribution: the distribution function to give the probabilities for the input Event passed to Random variable
sample_space: Sample space (with its Outcome set) determines which Event can pass through to be processed by Probability function

Method Description Link
random_variable.__call__(event) or simply random_variable(event) Returns the probability value of the Event passed in, determined by Probability distribution basic
