Probability theory constitutes the mathematical framework for quantifying uncertainty and analysing random phenomena. Its foundations lie in measure theory, where a probability space is defined as a ...

Probability theory has long provided a rigorous framework for quantifying uncertainty, yet its extension to infinite sets introduces profound conceptual challenges and opportunities. Contemporary ...
