Formal Definition
(This definition may be extended to any probability distribution using the measure-theoretic definition of probability.)
A random variable X with values in a measure space (usually Rn with the Borel sets as measurable subsets) has as probability distribution the measure X∗P on : the density of X with respect to a reference measure μ on is the Radon–Nikodym derivative:
That is, f is any measurable function with the property that:
for any measurable set .

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or definition:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
