Aug 29, 2015 at 19:44 comment added Michael Greinecker Doing probability theory on pointfree Boolean algebras has a long history. See the survey On the axiomatic treatment of probability by Jerzy Łoś, Colloquium Mathematicae. Vol. 2. No. 3. 1955.
Aug 29, 2015 at 12:12 comment added Stefan Perko @zhoraster Thank you for very much for clarifying both issues. I appreciate it.
Aug 29, 2015 at 12:05 comment added zhoraster @Marco Golla, the poster's misbehavior is my fault, as I recommended him to post here. Also, the answer on MSE is quite unrelated to the question. Stefan Perko, asking a question was not a bad idea. There are many people (including me) who are also interested in an answer.
Aug 29, 2015 at 11:59 comment added Stefan Perko @priel Ah, yes I missed that one and you seem to be right. I can't say more than that since the material is currently impenetrable to me. (maybe asking this question $\uparrow$ now wasn't the best idea)
Aug 29, 2015 at 11:44 comment added priel There is also "Topological Riesz Spaces and Measure Theory" which discusses the classical spaces of random variables in this context.
Aug 29, 2015 at 11:28 comment added Stefan Perko @priel I assume you are referring to volume 3. It is definitely interesting and worth looking into, but it's measure theory not exactly probability theory. I was under the impression, that concepts like "random variables" are special to probability theory. Still, thank you for this information. There seem to be many useful ideas there.
Aug 29, 2015 at 11:00 comment added priel The standard point-free version of measure theory is to replace the algebraa of measurable sets by an abstract boolean algebra and the measure by a suitable function thereon. A good place to read about this and its motivation is the series of books by Fremlin, many of which are readily available online.
Aug 29, 2015 at 10:42 comment added Marco Golla It is good etiquette to wait a reasonable amount of time before cross-posting from MSE to here (say a week, you didn't even wait for an hour) and to cross-link the question, so as to avoid double efforts. You already had a reply on MSE, by the way.
