Convergence of Random Variables

Procedure

Sub-experiment 1 : Different types of convergence

  • Read the experiment setting. The random variable XnX_n is defined there.
  • Now enter a value of ω\omega in the range [0,1][0,1].
  • Enter a block number kk
  • Observe how for any value of ω\omega and any kk, there will be a random variable XnX_n in that block which has Xn(ω)=1X_n(\omega)=1
  • Additionally, also see that how the sequence Xn(ω){X_n(\omega)} for n=1,2,3...n=1,2,3... does not converge and does not have a limit.

Sub-experiment 2 : Weak Law of Large Numbers (Convergence in probability)

  • Select a distribution type from the dropdown menu
  • Adjust the parameters for your chosen distribution
  • Set the maximum number of samples (n) using the slider and run the experiment.
  • The red line shows the theoretical mean (µ) and the blue plot shows the sample mean.
  • Watch how the sample mean converges to µ as n increases
