Convergence in Probability

A sequence of random elements of a separable metric space converges in probability to a random element when, for every positive epsilon, the probability that their distance exceeds epsilon tends to zero.

Statement

In the setting of Probability Spaces: Notation, let (S,d)(S,d) be a separable metric space, let (Xn)n∈N(X_{n})_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence of random elements of SS, and let XX be a random element of SS. Each d(Xn,X)d(X_{n},X) is a random variable (The Distance of Two Random Elements of a Separable Metric Space Is a Random Variable (i)).

Convergence in probability. (Xn)(X_{n}) converges to XX in probability if for every real ε>0\varepsilon>0

P(d(Xn,X)>ε)→0(n→∞),P\bigl(d(X_{n},X)>\varepsilon\bigr)\to0\qquad(n\to\infty),

convergence of real numbers as in Convergent Sequences of Real Numbers (i).
