The prefix weight wₐ(f) = p_{1-a}(-f(a)) / p₁(0).
Equations
- BGW.StableTrees.bridgePrefixWeight θ a ha f = BGW.StableTrees.stableDensityAt θ (1 - a) (-f ⟨a, ⋯⟩) / BGW.StableTrees.Scalar.stableDensity θ 0
Instances For
The prefix measure obtained by weighting a path law by bridgePrefixWeight.
Equations
- BGW.StableTrees.bridgePrefixLaw θ a ha P = P.withDensity fun (f : BGW.Skorokhod.D a ℝ) => ENNReal.ofReal (BGW.StableTrees.bridgePrefixWeight θ a ha f)
Instances For
The bridge prefix weight is nonnegative whenever a < 1.
The bridge prefix weight is measurable for the Borel σ-algebra on path space.
For each fixed a < 1, the bridge prefix weight is bounded.
Mass one. Every stable Lévy law on [0,a] integrates the bridge weight to one.
A normalized bridge prefix is a probability measure.
The prefix law does not depend on the choice of the stable law P (uniqueness).
Consistency at the level of measures on D a ℝ. Restricting the tilted law at b gives
the tilted law at a.
Abstract-family form: the bridge prefix laws are probability measures and consistent.
