Understanding notation $\mathbf{1}_{[k-1 \lt \mid X_1 \mid \le k]}$ in a proof for the law of large numbers

36 Views Asked by At

I'm having these definitions in the proof for the law of large numbers which I'm trying to understand in detail:

\begin{align*} k &> 1 \\ J_1 &= \mathbf{1}_{[0 \lt \mid X_1 \mid \le 1]} \\ J_k &= \mathbf{1}_{[k-1 \lt \mid X_1 \mid \le k]} \\ I_n &= \sum_{k=1}^n J_k \end{align*}

Where $\mathbf{1}_A$ is the indicator function defined as

\begin{align*} \mathbf{1}_A(\omega) := \begin{cases}1 \text{, if } \omega \in A \\ 0 \text{, if } \omega \notin A\end{cases} \end{align*}

and $X_1$ is a random variable.

My problem here is that I cannot really understand what $\mathbf{1}_{[k-1 \lt \mid X_1 \mid \le k]} \,$ does mean here. $[k-1 \lt \mid X_1 \mid \le k]$ would be the set of all values which are larger than $k-1$ and less or equal than $k$, I get that. But since $X_1$ is not closer defined I fail to see what this set looks like and that leads to the point where I do not understand the sum $I_n$.

Could somebody explain to me what I am actually looking at? Please let me know if you need more information and please note that I do not have a mathematical background in particular.
