Continuous and Random Vapnik-Chervonenkis Classes

We show that if $T$ is a dependent theory then so is its Keisler randomisation $T^R$. In order to do this we generalise the notion of a Vapnik-Chervonenkis class to families of $[0,1]$-valued functions (a \emph{continuous} Vapnik-Chervonenkis class), and we characterise families of functions having this property via the growth rate of the mean width of an associated family of convex compacts.
