In [[probability theory]], a '''probability mass function''' (abbreviated '''pmf''') gives the probability that a [[discrete random variable|discrete]] [[random variable]] is exactly equal to some value. A probability mass function differs from a [[probability density function]] in that the values of the latter, defined only for [[continuous random variable]]s, are not probabilities; rather, its integral over a set of possible values of the random variable is a probability.
