Independence of an infinite family of random variables #
In this file we provide several results about independence of arbitrary families of random
variables, relying on Measure.infinitePi.
Implementation note #
There are several possible measurability assumptions:
- The map ω ↦ (Xᵢ(ω))ᵢis measurable.
- For all i, the mapω ↦ Xᵢ(ω)is measurable.
- The map ω ↦ (Xᵢ(ω))ᵢis almost everywhere measurable.
- For all i, the mapω ↦ Xᵢ(ω)is almost everywhere measurable. Although the first two options are equivalent, the last two are not if the index set is not countable.
Random variables are independent iff their joint distribution is the product measure. This
is a version where the random variable ω ↦ (Xᵢ(ω))ᵢ is almost everywhere measurable.
See iIndepFun_iff_map_fun_eq_infinitePi_map₀' for a version which only assumes that
each Xᵢ is almost everywhere measurable and that ι is countable.
Random variables are independent iff their joint distribution is the product measure. This is
an AEMeasurable version of iIndepFun_iff_map_fun_eq_infinitePi_map, which is why it requires
ι to be countable.
Random variables are independent iff their joint distribution is the product measure.
Given random variables X i : Ω i → 𝓧 i, they are independent when viewed as random
variables defined on the product space Π i, Ω i.
Consider ((Xᵢⱼ)ⱼ)ᵢ a family of families of random variables.
Assume that for any i, the random variables (Xᵢⱼ)ⱼ are independent.
Assume furthermore that the random variables ((Xᵢⱼ)ⱼ)ᵢ are independent.
Then the random variables (Xᵢⱼ) indexed by pairs (i, j) are independent.
This is a dependent version of iIndepFun_uncurry'.
Given random variables X i j : Ω i j → 𝓧 i j, they are independent when viewed as random
variables defined on the product space Π i, Π j, Ω i j.
Consider ((Xᵢⱼ)ⱼ)ᵢ a family of families of random variables.
Assume that for any i, the random variables (Xᵢⱼ)ⱼ are independent.
Assume furthermore that the random variables ((Xᵢⱼ)ⱼ)ᵢ are independent.
Then the random variables (Xᵢⱼ) indexed by pairs (i, j) are independent.
This is a non-dependent version of iIndepFun_uncurry.
Given random variables X i j : Ω i j → 𝓧 i j, they are independent when viewed as random
variables defined on the product space Π i, Π j, Ω i j.
