Definition df-orvc 34438
Description: Define the preimage set mapping operator. In probability theory, the notation 𝑃(𝑋 = 𝐴) denotes the probability that a random variable 𝑋 takes the value 𝐴. We introduce here an operator which enables to write this in Metamath as (𝑃‘(𝑋RV/𝑐 I 𝐴)), and keep a similar notation. Because with this notation (𝑋RV/𝑐 I 𝐴) is a set, we can also apply it to conditional probabilities, like in (𝑃‘(𝑋RV/𝑐 I 𝐴) ∣ (𝑌RV/𝑐 I 𝐵))).

The oRVC operator transforms a relation 𝑅 into an operation taking a random variable 𝑋 and a constant 𝐶, and returning the preimage through 𝑋 of the equivalence class of 𝐶.

The most commonly used relations are: - equality: {𝑋 = 𝐴} as (𝑋RV/𝑐 I 𝐴) cf. ideq 5866- elementhood: {𝑋𝐴} as (𝑋RV/𝑐 E 𝐴) cf. epel 5592- less-than: {𝑋𝐴} as (𝑋RV/𝑐𝐴)

Even though it is primarily designed to be used within probability theory and with random variables, this operator is defined on generic functions, and could be used in other fields, e.g., for continuous functions. (Contributed by Thierry Arnoux, 15-Jan-2017.)
