A probability distribution on a -algebra of subsets of a space concentrated on the set of its atoms (cf. Atom). A set in a probability space is called an atom of the distribution if and if it follows from that or that . In the particular case in which the atoms are discrete points, an atomic distribution coincides with a discrete distribution.
