Compactness of the space of probability measures #
We define the canonical bijection between the space of probability measures on a finite space X
and the standard simplex, and show that it is a homeomorphism.
We deduce that the space of probability measures is compact in this situation. This is an easy case of a result that holds in a general compact metrizable space, but requires Riesz representation theorem which we don't have currently in mathlib.
The canonical bijection between the set of probability measures on a fintype and the set of nonnegative functions on the points adding up to one.

The canonical homeomorphism between the space of probability measures on a finite space and the standard simplex.
Equations
- probabilityMeasureHomeoStdSimplex = { toEquiv := probabilityMeasureEquivStdSimplex, continuous_toFun := ⋯, continuous_invFun := ⋯ }
Instances For
This is still true when X
is a metrizable compact space, but the proof requires Riesz
representation theorem.
