Event Space

$\Sigma$


Let $\EE$ be an experiment whose probability space is $\struct {\Omega, \Sigma, \Pr}$.

The event space of $\EE$ is usually denoted $\Sigma$ (Greek capital sigma), and is the set of all outcomes of $\EE$ which are interesting.


By definition, $\struct {\Omega, \Sigma}$ is a measurable space.


Hence the event space $\Sigma$ is a sigma-algebra on $\Omega$.


The $\LaTeX$ code for \(\Sigma\) is \Sigma .
