Probability mixtures #
This file supplies distribution-level formulas for mixtures of measurable families of measures.
Cumulative distribution functions, moment-generating functions, and characteristic functions are
the corresponding integrals of the component quantities under their natural hypotheses. It also
connects a jointly measurable family of component densities to HasPDF.
The density results allow the component presentation to hold only almost everywhere for the mixing measure. This is useful for kernels whose values away from the valid parameter set are an arbitrary measurable extension.

MeasureTheory.Measure.cdf_bindcomputes the cdf of a real-valued probability mixture whose components are probability measures almost everywhere.MeasureTheory.Measure.mem_integrableExpSet_bind_iffcharacterizes the exact exponential integrability domain by an iterated nonnegative integral.MeasureTheory.Measure.mgf_bind,MeasureTheory.Measure.cgf_bind, andMeasureTheory.Measure.charFun_bindexpress transforms of mixtures in terms of their components.TauCeti.Probability.hasPDF_of_hasLaw_bind_withDensitygives the density interface for a random variable whose law is a mixture of densities.
The cdf of a mixture of real probability laws is the integral of their cdfs.
Exponential integrability under a mixture is equivalent to finiteness of the iterated nonnegative exponential integral. This formulation remains meaningful before passing to real mgfs and records the exact integrability domain without relying on totalized real integration.
On its integrability domain, the mgf of a mixture is the integral of the component mgfs.
The cgf of a mixture is the logarithm of the integral of the component mgfs, rather than the integral of their cgfs.
The characteristic function of a mixture of finite total mass is the integral of the component characteristic functions.
The finite mixture of a family of measures with simplex weights.
