A measure space is a triple where[1][2]


In other words, a measure space consists of a measurable space together with a measure on it.

a measure space where the measure is a probability measure[1]

Most important classes of measure spaces are defined by the properties of their associated measures. This includes, in order of increasing generality:


Another class of measure spaces are the complete measure spaces.[4]
