If $0<\mu=\mathbb E\xi_1<\infty$, the <size-biased distribution> of $\xi_1$ is the law of $\widehat\xi$ defined by
$$
\mathbb E h(\widehat\xi)
=\frac{\mathbb E[\xi_1h(\xi_1)]}{\mu}
$$
for bounded measurable $h$. Equivalently,
$$
\mathbb P(\widehat\xi\in dx)=\frac{x}{\mu}\,\mathbb P(\xi_1\in dx).
$$
