iid

Definition (Identically Distributed)

A collection of rvs X1,X2,…X_{1},X_{2},\dots are said to be identically distributed if for any bounded Borel function f:R→Rf:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R} we have E[f(Xi)] does not depend on i\mathbb{E}[f(X_{i})]\text{ does not depend on }iwhich is equivalent to P(Xi∈E)\mathbb{P}(X_{i}\in E) not depending on ii for all E∈BE\in \mathcal{B}.

Definition (iid)

X1,X2,…X_{1},X_{2},\dots are iid rv if they’re Independent random variables and .
