Program (detailed contents):
– Sigma-algebra, sigma-algebra generated by one or many random variables.
– Conditional expectation with respect to a sigma-algebra generated by a partition and then with respect to a general sigma-algebra. Main properties of conditional expectation.
– Gaussian random vectors. Main properties, Gaussian miracle for the independence of coordinates, projection theorem for Gaussian random vectors, multidimensional central limit theorem.
– Classical inequalities arising in probability theory: Markov, Chebyshev, Cauchy-Schwarz and Hölder.
– Modes of convergence of random variables: almost sure, in probability, in distribution, in the Lp spaces, and links between them.
Complements of probabilities
Description
Objectifs
At the end of this module, the student will have understood and be able to explain (main concepts): The student will be able to:
- The notion of sigma-algebra generated by one or many random variables.
- The definition and main properties of a conditional expectation.
-The definition and main properties of a Gaussian vector.
-The various modes of convergence in probability theory and the links between them.
- Compute a conditional expectation with respect to a given sigma-algebra.
- Prove that a random vector is a Gaussian random vector and give the underlying parameters (expectation and covariance matrix); use the specific properties of Gaussian random vectors.
- Use classical inequalities appearing in probability theory.
- Prove that a given sequence of random variables converges (or not) almost surely, in probability, in distribution or in Lebesgue spaces (Lp spaces).
