Suppose that νn(A)=A∫δndμ and ν(A)=A∫δdμ for densities δn and δ. If νn(Ω)=ν(Ω)<∞,∀n∈N(1) and if δn→δμ-a.s. then A∈Fsup∣ν(A)−νn(A)∣≤Ω∫∣δ−δn∣dμ→0(2)
The positive part gn+ of gn converges to 0 a.e. (this is trivial).
Since:0≤gn+≤δ⟺0≤(δ−δn)+≤δand δ∈L1(Ω,F,μ) and so Dominated Convergence Theorem applies: ∫gn+dμ→0.But, ∫gndμ=0 by (1) hence Ω∫∣gn∣dμ={gn≥0}∫gndμ−{gn<0}∫gndμ=2{gn≥0}∫gndμ=2Ω∫gn+dμ→0 where the third line arises since the integral is equal to zero.
\end{proof} This theorem shows up in a different form in Borkar’s Probability Theory: An Advanced Course: >[!thm|2.33] Scheffé’s Theorem >Let (μn)n∈N be a sequence of probability measures on a measurable space(Ω,F) such that μn≪λ,∀n∈N,for some nonnegative, σ-finitemeasureλ on (Ω,F). If dλdμn→dλdμ∞,λ-a.s.then μn→μ∞ in total variation (which is equivalent to Convergence in Distribution here).
\begin{proof} The claim amounts to showing that dλdμn→dλdμ∞, in L1(Ω,F,λ)this follows from the following theorem: >[!thm|1.3.3] >Let (Xn)n≥1 be a sequence of integrablervs on (Ω,F,P) with Xn≥0,∀n∈Na.s. and Xna.s.X. Then XnL1X⟺E[Xn]→E[X] >
For S countable with the discrete topology, this shows that convergence in P(S) and in total variation are equivalent. \end{proof} >[!remark] >This gives us fna.sf⟹XndXonly if Xn≪X.
