چکیده
It has recently been shown that the marginalization paradox (MP) can be resolved by interpreting improper inferences as probability limits. The key to the resolution is that probability limits need not satisfy the formal Bayes’ law, which is used in the MP to deduce an inconsistency. In this paper, I explore the differences between probability limits and the more familiar pointwise limits, which do imply the formal Bayes’ law, and show how these differences underlie some key differences in the interpretation of the MP.

We consider stochastic differential equations dY = V (Y ) dX driven by a multidimensional Gaussian process X in the rough path sense. Using Malliavin Calculus we show that Yt admits a density for t ∈ (0, T ] provided (i) the vector fields V = (V1, ..., Vd) satisfy Hörmander’s condition and (ii) the Gaussian driving signal X satisfies certain conditions. Examples of driving signals include fract...

We decompose the K-theory space of a Waldhausen category in terms of its Dwyer-Kan simplicial localization. This leads to a criterion for functors to induce equivalences of K-theory spectra that generalizes and explains many of the criteria appearing in the literature.
