Independence

A. N. Kolmogorov

Chapter Chapter 8 in Mathematical Finance and Probability, 2003, pp 147-160 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The concept of independent events formalizes a fairly natural idea. Intuitively speaking, two events A andBare said to be independent if any statement concerning the occurrence or non-occurrence of one of them does not change the probability of the other event. Independence is one of the central concepts in probability theory. In this and the next section we explain the mathematical formulation of the concept and investigate the different guises in which it appears.
