Probability laws of effect-valued measurements
A real-valued effect measure is exactly a probability measure: its values lie in `[0, 1]`, and its order-theoretic countable additivity becomes `ENNReal` countable additivity after applying `ENNReal.ofReal`. Consequently, scalarizing a POVM by a normal state produces an ordinary probability law.

Measure associated with a real-valued effect measure
Let be a measurable space and be an effect-valued measure on taking values in the effects of (the interval ). This definition constructs a standard measure on such that for every measurable set , the measure is given by , where the value is treated as an extended non-negative real number ().
Value of the measure associated with an effect-valued measure at
Let be a measurable space and let be an effect-valued measure on taking values in the real interval . For any measurable set , the measure (the standard measure associated with ) evaluated at is equal to the value of converted to an extended non-negative real number, written as .
The measure associated with a real-valued effect-valued measure is a probability measure
Let be a measurable space and be a real-valued effect-valued measure on . Then the standard measure associated with (denoted as `ν.toMeasure`) is a probability measure, which implies its total mass is one ().

Probability law of an effect-valued measure in a normal state
Let be a measurable space and be an ordered vector space. Given an effect-valued measure on with values in and a normal state (a normal unital positive linear map), the **probability law** is the probability measure on defined by: for every measurable set . This represents the probability distribution obtained by measuring the observable while the system is in the state .
The value of the probability law is
Let be a measurable space and be an ordered vector space. Let be an effect-valued measure on with values in , and let be a normal state (a normal unital positive linear map). For any measurable set , the probability measure defined by the probability law of in the state evaluates on as:
