Topic: Examples of using probability theory in Lean


Ching-Tsun Chou (Jan 07 2025 at 03:57):

Are there good examples of using probability theory in Lean? At present I am more interested in examples of using probability theory than developing probability theory. Elementary examples involving discrete probabilities will do. Thanks in advance!

There is an official blog about probability : https://leanprover-community.github.io/blog/posts/basic-probability-in-mathlib/

Ching-Tsun Chou (Jan 07 2025 at 04:11):

Yes, I am aware of that blog post. Thanks!

I want to see some examples of Lean's probability theory in action.

If you know the Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund inequality, here is a proof of it for discrete uniform iid random variables using no probability theory: https://github.com/YaelDillies/LeanAPAP/blob/master/LeanAPAP/Prereqs/MarcinkiewiczZygmund.lean
