The Law of Large Numbers
at the same time, the mean chance of the contrary event F will be the sum of the fractions 1− p1, −− p2, . . . 1− pμ , divided by μ; and by designating it by q′, one will have p′+q′ = 1. This being, the one of the general propositions, which we wish to consider, consists in this that if one calls m and n the numbers of times that E and F will arrive or are arrived during the series of these tri...
متن کاملHyperfinite law of large numbers
The Loeb space construction in nonstandard analysis is applied to the theory of processes to reveal basic phenomena which cannot be treated using classical methods. An asymptotic interpretation of results established here shows that for a triangular array (or a sequence) of random variables, asymptotic uncorrelatedness or asymptotic pairwise independence is necessary and sufficient for the vali...
متن کاملA Note on the Strong Law of Large Numbers
Petrov (1996) proved the connection between general moment conditions and the applicability of the strong law of large numbers to a sequence of pairwise independent and identically distributed random variables. This note examines this connection to a sequence of pairwise negative quadrant dependent (NQD) and identically distributed random variables. As a consequence of the main theorem ...
متن کاملInference by Believers in the Law of Small Numbers
Many people believe in the ‘‘Law of Small Numbers,’’ exaggerating the degree to which a small sample resembles the population from which it is drawn. To model this, I assume that a person exaggerates the likelihood that a short sequence of i.i.d. signals resembles the long-run rate at which those signals are generated. Such a person believes in the ‘‘gambler’s fallacy’’, thinking early draws of...
متن کاملChapter 8 Law of Large Numbers 8 . 1 Law of Large Numbers for Discrete Random Variables
We are now in a position to prove our first fundamental theorem of probability. We have seen that an intuitive way to view the probability of a certain outcome is as the frequency with which that outcome occurs in the long run, when the experiment is repeated a large number of times. We have also defined probability mathematically as a value of a distribution function for the random variable re...
