The distributions of (X̄_t, Y^t), and the stopping rule as a function of (Z_t, Y^t) #
This file computes the distributions of (X̄_t, Y^t) under P_θ and under the mixture Q, writes
W_{jk}, 𝒵_k, and p_k as functions of Y^t = (Y₂, …, Y_t), and proves the claims of
Section S1.6 of the supplementary material after Lemma S5 (sec_lb_stopping_proof): under P_θ,
Z_t = t^{1/2}(X̄_t − θ) ∼ N(0, 1) is independent of Y^t, so that p_k(Y^t) is the conditional
probability that τ' = t given Y^t, where t = t_k = r^k.

The distribution of (X̄_t, Y^t) #
Lemma S2(iii): under N(m, v)^{⊗∞}, the vector (X̄_t, Y^t) has distribution
N(m, v/t) ⊗ N(0, v)^{⊗(t−1)} for t ≥ 1.
Under P_θ, Z_t = t^{1/2}(X̄_t − θ) ∼ N(0, 1) and Y^t ∼ N(0, 1)^{⊗(t−1)} are independent:
the distribution of (Z_t, Y^t) is N(0, 1) ⊗ N(0, 1)^{⊗(t−1)} for t ≥ 1.
The distribution of (X̄_t, Y^t) under the mixture Q #
The Gaussian mixture ∫ N(μ, v) N(0, w)(dμ) is N(0, w + v), the convolution
N(0, w) ∗ N(0, v).
Under the mixture Q = ∫ Q_μ N(0, ρ²)(dμ), the vector (X̄_t, Y^t) has distribution
N(0, ρ² + s²/t) ⊗ N(0, s²)^{⊗(t−1)} for t ≥ 1: by Lemma S2(iii), Y^t has the same
distribution under every Q_μ, and X̄_t ∼ N(μ, s²/t) is mixed over μ ∼ N(0, ρ²).
W_{jk} and 𝒵_k as functions of y = (y₂, …, y_t) #
The variable W_{jk}(y) = t_j^{1/2} ∑_{i=t_j+1}^{t_k} y_i/{i(i − 1)}^{1/2} of Section S1.6, as
a function of y = (y₂, …, y_t) with t = t_k = r^k.

Section S1.6: the stopping rule τ' and p_k(Y^t) #
Under P_θ, for a measurable set B of values of Y^t, both E_θ{1(Y^t ∈ B)p_k(Y^t)} and
P_θ(Y^t ∈ B, τ' = t) equal ∫_B N(0, 1){𝒵_k(y)} N(0, 1)^{⊗(t−1)}(dy), since Z_t ∼ N(0, 1) is
independent of Y^t.
