Radon-Nikodym theorem #
This file proves the Radon-Nikodym theorem. The Radon-Nikodym theorem states that, given measures
μ, ν
, if HaveLebesgueDecomposition μ ν
, then μ
is absolutely continuous with respect to
ν
if and only if there exists a measurable function f : α → ℝ≥0∞
such that μ = fν
.
In particular, we have f = rnDeriv μ ν
.
The Radon-Nikodym theorem will allow us to define many important concepts in probability theory,
most notably probability cumulative functions. It could also be used to define the conditional
expectation of a real function, but we take a different approach (see the file
MeasureTheory/Function/ConditionalExpectation
).
