The resource-bounded measures of complexity classes are shown to be robust with respect to certain changes in the underlying probability measure. Specifically, for any real number δ > 0, any uniformly polynomial-time computable sequence β=(β0,β1,β2), ... of real numbers (biases) β i e [δ, 1−δ], and any complexity class C (such as P, NP, BPP, P/Poly, PH, PSPACE, etc.) that is closed under positive, polynomial-time, truth-table reductions with queries of at most linear length, it is shown that the following two conditions are equivalent.
