Then we prove convergence results for conditional expectations of the form Pn [f(Xn)|Yn] to a conditional expectation of the form P [f(X)|Y]. We study, in particular, the case in which the random variables Yn Y are of the type hn (Xn), h(X) date: 2005 publication: Statistics and probability letters volume: 74 number: 2 publisher: Elsevier pagerange: 151-162 id_number: doi:10.1016/j.spl.2005.04.039 refereed: TRUE issn: 0167-7152 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.spl.2005.04.039 citation: Crimaldi, Irene and Pratelli, Luca Two inequalities for conditional expectations and convergence results for filters.
