Almost sure

In probability theory, one says that an event happens almost surely (sometimes abbreviated as a.s.) if it happens with probability one. In other words, the set of possible exceptions may be non-empty, but it has probability zero. The concept is precisely the same as the concept of "almost everywhere" in measure theory. In probability experiments on a finite sample space there is no difference between almost surely and surely, but the distinction becomes important when the sample space is an infinite set (because an infinite set can have non-empty subsets of probability zero). Some examples of the use of this concept include the strong and uniform versions of the law of large numbers, and the continuity of the paths of Brownian motion.

The terms almost certainly (a.c.) and almost always (a.a.) are also used. Almost never describes the opposite of almost surely: an event that happens with probability zero happens almost never.

Let ${\displaystyle (\Omega ,{\mathcal {F}},P)}$ be a probability space. An event ${\displaystyle E\in {\mathcal {F}}}$ happens almost surely if ${\displaystyle P[E]=1}$. Equivalently, ${\displaystyle E}$ happens almost surely if the probability of ${\displaystyle E}$ not occurring is zero: ${\displaystyle P[E^{C}]=0}$. More generally, any event ${\displaystyle E}$ (not necessarily in ${\displaystyle {\mathcal {F}}}$) happens almost surely if ${\displaystyle E^{C}}$ is contained in a null set: a subset of some ${\displaystyle N\in {\mathcal {F}}}$ such that ${\displaystyle P[N]=0}$. The notion of almost sureness depends on the probability measure ${\displaystyle P}$. If it is necessary to emphasize this dependence, it is customary to say that the event ${\displaystyle E}$ occurs P-almost surely, or almost surely [P].
