Weakly approaching sequences of random distributions

Abstract: We introduce the notion of weakly approaching sequences of distributions, which is a generalization of the well-known concept of weak convergence of distributions. The main difference is that the suggested notion does not demand the existence of a limit distribution. A similar definition for conditional (random) distributions is presented. Several properties of weakly approaching sequences are given. The tightness of some of them is essential. The Cramér-Lévy continuity theorem for weak convergence is generali… Show more

“…Translating our results into those alternative languages might facilitate various generalizations. -Another generalization of the traditional notion of weak convergence is Belyaev's notion of weakly approaching sequences of random distributions (Belyaev and Sjöstedt-de Luna 2000). When comparing the LSPM with Oracle III, we limited ourselves to stating the absence of weak convergence and calculating the asymptotics of 1-dimensional distributions; Belyaev's definition is likely to lead to more precise results.…”

“…Aiming our statistical applications, we mainly consider weak and conditionally weak approaching in probability although conditional a.s.-approaching can be introduced and studied in a similar way (cf. Belyaev, 1996). It follows directly by the de®nitions and the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, that (X n j Z n ) 23 ad(P) Y n implies X n 6 ad Y n .…”

“…As will be argued below, an appropriate concept to study conditional confidence intervals is merging, a concept that generalizes weak convergence. To the best of our knowledge, except for Belyaev and Sjöstedt-De Luna (2000), the present work is the only one to study merging in the context of conditional distributions. Moreover, we seem to be the first to employ merging of conditional distributions in time series.…”
