Sigma-algebra

Summary

A σ-algebra on a set is a family of subsets that contains the whole set and is closed under complements and countable unions. In probability theory, the σ-algebra is the family of events, the sets to which we give a probability. The node sigma-algebra gives the precise definition.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
