Fatou’s Lemma for Weakly Converging Probabilities∗
S f(s)μ(ds) = 1, ∫ S f(s)μn(ds) = 0, and (1.3) does not hold. Theorem 1.1 presents Fatou’s lemma for weakly converging measures μn and nonnegative functions fn. This fact is useful for the analysis of Markov decision processes and stochastic games. Serfozo [7, Lemma 3.2] establishes inequality (1.4) for a vaguely convergent sequence of measures on a locally compact metric space S and for nonneg...
متن کاملA Generalized Neyman-Pearson Lemma for g-Probabilities
This paper is concerned with hypothesis tests for g-probabilities, a class of nonlinear probability measures. The problem is shown to be a special case of a general stochastic optimization problem where the objective is to choose the terminal state of certain backward stochastic differential equations so as to minimize a g-expectation. The latter is solved with a stochastic maximum principle ap...
متن کاملExponential Models: Approximations for Probabilities
Welch & Peers (1963) used a root-information prior to obtain posterior probabilities for a scalar parameter exponential model and showed that these Bayes probabilities had the confidence property to second order asymptotically. An important undercurrent of this indicates that the constant information reparameterization provides location model structure, for which the confidence property ...
متن کاملAverage Cost Markov Decision Processes with Weakly Continuous Transition Probabilities
This paper presents sufficient conditions for the existence of stationary optimal policies for averagecost Markov Decision Processes with Borel state and action sets and with weakly continuous transition probabilities. The one-step cost functions may be unbounded, and action sets may be noncompact. The main contributions of this paper are: (i) general sufficient conditions for the existence of ...
متن کاملConverging Hands or Converging Minds?
Interlocutors sometimes repeat each other’s representational hand gestures. We investigated if this is a case of direct mimicry of form, or whether perceiving a gesture gives rise to a semantic representation, which subsequently informs gesture production. For this we used an interactive route description task, in which a confederate’s gestures indicated the route in either the vertical or the ...
