Convergence , conditional distribution

557 Views Asked by At

here my short question.

I saw the following conditional distribution, which converges, in a book:

$\lim_{s \to \infty}P\left(\frac{X-f(s)}{g(s)}\leq x\mid X>s\right)=G(x)\ \forall x$ in the set of continuity points of G

with the informations, that $f(s)>0,g(s)$ functions in real numbers and $G(x)$ distribution function. $X$ is a random variable with known distribution function.

my question is: what type of convergence is it???

my problem: we don t have a sequence of random variables $X_{n}$, because $f,g$ are functions in real numbers, so i think we can`t work with the known convergences like "weak convergence" or is it possible??

thanks for help

Weak convergence in this context means convergence in distribution, and that's excatly what you've got. Weak convergence to a c.d.f. $G$ means pointwise convergence to $G$ at all points at which $G$ is continuous. It doesn't matter whether it's convergence of a sequence or convergence of a function of a real variable or convergence of some other kind of net.
