A random variable X is an e-variable for a set of measures S if it is measurable and
its expectation is at most one for all measures in S. This is formulated via the condition
that ∫ᵉ ω, X ω - 1 ∂μ ≤ 0 for all μ ∈ S.

Instances For
An e-variable has expected value at most the total measure.
A random variable X is a randomized e-variable for a set of measures S if it is a
Markov kernel and its mean function is at most 1 under all measures in S.
- markov : IsMarkovKernel κ
Instances For
A kernel κ is a randomized e-variable iff its mean function x ↦ ∫⁻ y, y ∂κ x is an
e-variable.
The set of e-variables is convex.
An e-variable for which the eintegral of the composition with a utility function is not ⊥.
