- Convergence_of_random_variables abstract "In probability theory, there exist several different notions of convergence of random variables. The convergence of sequences of random variables to some limit random variable is an important concept in probability theory, and its applications to statistics and stochastic processes. The same concepts are known in more general mathematics as stochastic convergence and they formalize the idea that a sequence of essentially random or unpredictable events can sometimes be expected to settle down into a behaviour that is essentially unchanging when items far enough into the sequence are studied. The different possible notions of convergence relate to how such a behaviour can be characterised: two readily understood behaviours are that the sequence eventually takes a constant value, and that values in the sequence continue to change but can be described by an unchanging probability distribution.".

- Convergence_of_random_variables data "As n grows larger, this distribution will gradually start to take shape more and more similar to the bell curve of the normal distribution. If we shift and rescale Xn’s appropriately, then will be converging in distribution to the standard normal, the result that follows from the celebrated central limit theorem.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "As the factory is improved, the dice become less and less loaded, and the outcomes from tossing a newly produced dice will follow the uniform distribution more and more closely.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "Consider a man who tosses seven coins every morning. Each afternoon, he donates one pound to a charity for each head that appeared. The first time the result is all tails, however, he will stop permanently.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "Consider an animal of some short-lived species. We record the amount of food that this animal consumes per day. This sequence of numbers will be unpredictable, but we may be quite certain that one day the number will become zero, and will stay zero forever after.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "Consider the following experiment. Take it with a grain of salt, however, because this is one of the most silly and non-instructive examples of convergence in probability. First, pick a random person in the street. Let X be his/her height, which is ex ante a random variable. Then you start asking other people to estimate this height by eye. Let Xn be the average of the first n responses. Then by the law of large numbers, the sequence Xn will converge in probability to the random variable X.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "However, when we consider any finite number of days, there is a nonzero probability the terminating condition will not occur.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "Let X1, X2, … be the daily amounts the charity receives from him.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "Let Xn be the fraction of heads after tossing up an unbiased coin n times. Then X1 has the Bernoulli distribution with expected value μ = 0.5 and variance σ2 = 0.25. The subsequent random variables X2, X3, … will all be distributed binomially.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "Note that Xn does not converge almost surely however. No matter how professional the archer becomes, there will always be a small probability of making an error. Thus the sequence {Xn} will never turn stationary: there will always be non-perfect scores in it, even if they are becoming increasingly less frequent.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "Suppose a new dice factory has just been built. The first few dice come out quite biased, due to imperfections in the production process. The outcome from tossing any of them will follow a distribution markedly different from the desired uniform distribution.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "Suppose a person takes a bow and starts shooting arrows at a target. Let Xn be his score in n-th shot. Initially he will be very likely to score zeros, but as the time goes and his archery skill increases, he will become more and more likely to hit the bullseye and score 10 points. After the years of practice the probability that he hit anything but 10 will be getting increasingly smaller and smaller and will converge to 0. Thus, the sequence Xn converges in probability to X = 10.".
- Convergence_of_random_variables data "Suppose { Xi } is an iid sequence of uniform U random variables. Let be their sums. Then according to the central limit theorem, the distribution of Zn approaches the normal N distribution. This convergence is shown in the picture: as n grows larger, the shape of the pdf function gets closer and closer to the Gaussian curve. center|200px".
