Convergence of Random Variables
Procedure
Sub-experiment 1 : Different types of convergence
- Read the experiment setting. The random variable Xn is defined there.
- Now enter a value of ω in the range [0,1].
- Enter a block number k
- Observe how for any value of ω and any k, there will be a random variable Xn in that block which has Xn(ω)=1
- Additionally, also see that how the sequence Xn(ω) for 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
