The defining Markov property of an IsMarkovChain, re-exported as a top-level lemma:
for any measurable set B ⊆ S and any n,
E[1_B ∘ X (n+1) | ℱ n] = κ (X n ·) B μ-a.e.,
i.e. P(X_{n+1} ∈ B | ℱ_n) = κ(X_n, B).
The time-n shift map on path space is measurable.
The canonical filtration on the path space ℕ → S: at time n it is the σ-algebra
generated by the coordinate maps ω ↦ ω i for i ≤ n.
Instances For
The law on path space ℕ → S of the Markov chain with initial distribution μ and
transition kernel κ. Built via the trajectory measure of the lifted kernel
markovLiftKernel κ.
Instances For
When the initial distribution μ is a probability measure, the resulting path measure
is itself a probability measure on ℕ → S.
When the initial distribution μ is finite, the resulting path measure is itself a
finite measure on ℕ → S.
The expectation E_x Y of a path functional Y under the Markov chain started from
the point x ∈ S. It is the integral of Y against the path measure with initial
distribution δ_x.
Instances For
The map x ↦ E_x Y = markovExpectation S κ Y x is measurable in the starting state
x, provided Y is bounded measurable on path space and S is a standard Borel space.
Identifies an integral on the trajectory kernel with markovExpectation: the integral
of Y against the shifted trajectory starting from a finite history x₀ equals
E_{x₀ n} Y, the expected value of Y for the chain started from the last coordinate
of x₀.
Each level of the pathFiltration is contained in the product σ-algebra on ℕ → S.
Set-integral form of the Markov property for the Markov chain path measure. For any
bounded measurable path functional Y and any set A measurable with respect to
pathFiltration S n,
∫_A Y(shiftPath n ω) dP_μ = ∫_A markovExpectation S κ Y (ω n) dP_μ.
This is the analogue of setIntegral_shift_eq_pathExpectation for discrete-time Markov
chains.
Markov property for a discrete-time Markov chain (conditional-expectation form).
For any bounded measurable path functional Y on ℕ → S,
E_μ[Y ∘ shiftPath n | pathFiltration n] = (ω ↦ E_{ω n} Y) P_μ-a.e.,
i.e. conditioning on the trajectory up to time n only depends on the value ω n, and the
conditional expectation of Y(shiftPath n ·) equals the expectation E_{ω n} Y of Y
under the chain restarted from ω n.
