Efficient Tests under a Weak Convergence Assumption∗
The asymptotic validity of tests is usually established by making appropriate primitive assumptions, which imply the weak convergence of a specific function of the data, and an appeal to the continuous mapping theorem. This paper, instead, takes the weak convergence of some function of the data to a limiting random element as the starting point, and studies efficiency in the class of tests that...
متن کاملBridge estimation of the probability density at a point
to estimate the value taken by a probability density at a point in the state space. When the normalisation of the prior density is known, this value may be used to estimate a Bayes factor. It is shown that the multi-block Metropolis-Hastings estimators of Chib and Jeliazkov (2001) are bridge sampling estimators. This identification leads to estimators for the quantity of interest which may be s...
متن کاملPoint process bridges and weak convergence of insider trading models ∗
We construct explicitly a bridge process whose distribution, in its own filtration, is the same as the difference of two independent Poisson processes with the same intensity and its time 1 value satisfies a specific constraint. This construction allows us to show the existence of Glosten-Milgrom equilibrium and its associated optimal trading strategy for the insider. In the equilibrium the ins...
متن کاملWEAK CONVERGENCE OF MEASURE-VALUED PROCESSES AND r-POINT FUNCTIONS
We prove a sufficient set of conditions for a sequence of finite measures on the space of cadlag measure-valued paths to converge to the canonical measure of super-Brownian motion in the sense of convergence of finitedimensional distributions. The conditions are convergence of the Fourier transform of the r-point functions and perhaps convergence of the “survival probabilities.” These condition...
متن کاملWeak Convergence and Weak* Convergence1
In this article, we deal with weak convergence on sequences in real normed spaces, and weak* convergence on sequences in dual spaces of real normed spaces. In the first section, we proved some topological properties of dual spaces of real normed spaces. We used these theorems for proofs of Section 3. In Section 2, we defined weak convergence and weak* convergence, and proved some properties. By...
