Reason: Re-version off the redacted continuity definition: continuity of the cumulative distribution function is now metric continuity on the real line. Almost sure convergence is restated as convergence on an event of probability one, removing a measurability justification and a citation to a step inside another item's proof from a definition item. · 1,096 chars · 5 deps · depth 9

Statement

Let (Xm)mN(X_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}} and XX be random variables on a common probability space (Ω,F,P)(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P) (for convergence in distribution, a common space is not required).

  1. (Xm)(X_m) converges to XX almost surely if there is an event AFA\in\mathcal{F} with P(A)=1P(A)=1 such that for every ωA\omega\in A the sequence (Xm(ω))mN(X_m(\omega))_{m\in\mathbb{N}} converges to X(ω)X(\omega) in the sense of Limit of a Sequence of Real Numbers.

  2. (Xm)(X_m) converges to XX in probability if for every ε>0\varepsilon>0,

P(XmXε)0(m).P\bigl(|X_m-X|\ge\varepsilon\bigr)\longrightarrow 0\qquad(m\to\infty).
  1. (Xm)(X_m) converges to XX in distribution if
FXm(t)FX(t)(m)F_{X_m}(t)\longrightarrow F_X(t)\qquad(m\to\infty)

for every tRt\in\mathbb{R} at which the cumulative distribution function FXF_X is continuous, as a map from the real line (R,dR)(\mathbb{R},d_{\mathbb{R}}) into itself.
