    Converging Proof
Click For Summary
To prove that if Xn converges almost surely to X, then f(Xn) converges almost surely to f(X), it is essential to clarify the definitions of Xn, X, and the function f, including its domain and codomain. The discussion suggests that continuity of the function f may be a sufficient condition for the desired convergence. However, there is an interest in exploring whether this condition can be relaxed. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the properties of the function and the nature of convergence in this context. Overall, the proof hinges on the relationship between the convergence of random variables and the behavior of functions applied to them.

How do I prove that given Xn converges almost surely to X, that f(Xn) will converge almost surely to f(X)?

Re: converging almost surely proof

Hello oyth! Can you please clarify what is $X_n$, $X$ and what are the domain and codomain of the map $f$? :) Although intuition tells me that probably continuity guarantees what you want, perhaps we can weaken that condition.

Cheers! :D
 

Thread 'A variant of the Monty Hall problem'

There is a nice little variation of the problem. The host says, after you have chosen the door, that you can change your guess, but to sweeten the deal, he says you can choose the two other doors, if you wish. This proposition is a no brainer, however before you are quick enough to accept it, the host opens one of the two doors and it is empty. In this version you really want to change your pick, but at the same time ask yourself is the host impartial and does that change anything. The host...
