If the CDF of a probability measure μ is continuous at x, then μ assigns zero mass to
the singleton {x}. Continuity of the CDF at x corresponds to absence of an atom at x.
If the CDF of a probability measure μ is continuous at x, then the boundary
frontier (Iic x) = {x} is μ-null. This is the form needed for the Portmanteau theorem.
For a probability measure ν on ℝ, the mass of a half-open interval (a, b] equals
F(b) - F(a) (cast to ℝ≥0), where F is the CDF of ν.
The set of continuity points of the CDF of a probability measure is dense in ℝ. This
follows from the fact that a monotone function has only countably many discontinuities.
Portmanteau theorem (weak convergence via bounded continuous functions). A sequence
of probability measures μₙ on ℝ converges weakly to μ if and only if
∫ f dμₙ → ∫ f dμ for every bounded continuous function f : ℝ →ᵇ ℝ.
