Real-valued Skorokhod representation by quantiles #
The common probability space is the open unit interval with Lebesgue measure. Quantiles are
characterized against the actual CDF, so their pushforward laws are the original measures.

Lebesgue probability on the open unit interval.
Instances For
Lebesgue measure restricted to the open unit interval has total mass one.
The lower quantile, with harmless totalization outside 0 < u < 1.

Instances For
Quantile/CDF equivalence, including CDF jumps.
Quantiles are monotone on their probability-parameter domain.
Quantiles are measurable for the common probability measure.
The quantile transforms Lebesgue probability on (0,1) into the original real law.
Pointwise CDF convergence gives quantile convergence at every continuity point of the limit quantile in the open unit interval.
Real-valued Skorokhod representation on an explicit common probability space. The input CDF convergence is required only on a dense set.
The same representation with globally measurable versions of every random variable.
Weak convergence of real probability laws admits measurable almost surely convergent
versions on the real line equipped with Lebesgue measure restricted to (0,1).
