Each clause is the change-of-variables formula for the image measure P∘X⁻¹, which is the law of X; the vector case is applied to the components.
Throughout, is the image measure of under (The Law of a Random Element (i), Probability Spaces, Events and Random Elements (iii)), and expectations are integrals against (Expectation (i), Expectation (ii), Expectation (iii)).
Nonnegative functions. By Image Measures and Measures with a Density: Measures, Integrals and Change of Variables (ii) with , and
This is (i).
Real functions. By Image Measures and Measures with a Density: Measures, Integrals and Change of Variables (iii) with , is measurable, that is, a random variable (Probability Spaces, Events and Random Elements (iv)); if and only if ; and then . This is (ii).
Vector-valued functions. The function is measurable by Measurable Maps: Generators, Composition, Continuous Maps, Restrictions, and Criteria for Real- and [0,∞]-Valued Maps (ii), so it is a random vector in (Probability Spaces, Events and Random Elements (v)). Its components are (), and each is measurable by Vector- and Matrix-Valued Measurable Maps: Components, Entries and Continuous Images (i). By Integrable Vector- and Matrix-Valued Functions and Their Integrals (i) and (ii) applied to each ,
In that case, by Integrable Vector- and Matrix-Valued Functions and Their Integrals (ii) and (ii) again, for every ,
so . This is (iii).
