	Convergence of random variables - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The convergence (in one of the senses presented below) of sequences of random variables to some limiting random variable is an important concept in probability theory, and its applications to statistics and stochastic processes.
		Convergence in probability is, indeed, the (pointwise) convergence of probabilities.
		Convergence in probability is the notion of convergence used in the weak law of large numbers.

	Random variable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A random variable is a term used in mathematics and statistics.
		Unlike the common practice with other mathematical variables, a random variable cannot be assigned a value; a random variable does not describe the actual outcome of a particular experiment, but rather describes the possible, as-yet-undetermined outcomes in terms of real numbers.
		Mathematically, a random variable is defined as a measurable function from a probability space to some measurable space.

	Random variable - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		For example, rolling a die and recording the outcome yields a random variable with range { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }.
		If a random variable X:Ω->R defined on the probability space (Ω, P) is given, we can ask questions like "How likely is it that the value of X is bigger than 2?".
		There are saveral different senses in which random variables can be considered to be equivalent.

		We now establish a relation between the rate of growth of the normalizing constants in a convergence-in-distribution statement and the distance of the random variables to their expectation.
		which is a sequence of constant random variables that trivially fulfills the condition of Lemma 6.6.
		We finish this section by a Lemma on multivariate normal distributions which states that a linear transform of a multivariate normal distribution is multivariate normal again.

		Probability measures correspond to minimums of functions that we call cost measures, whereas random variables correspond to constraints on these optimization problems that we call decision variables.
		For tight sequences, the convergence in cost implies the weak convergence.

	Short Book Reviews On-Line 2001
		The author pays special attention to the distinction between design-based inference where randomness is introduced by the manner in which the data are collected, and model-based inference where randomness is introduced by the model assumptions.
		The main concepts, including fixed and random effects with both normal and binomial data, are introduced in the early chapter on one-way classification.
		The approach is illustrated with examples involving random variables with few points of support.
