Expectations of log ℓ #
For Z ∼ N(0, s²) and c ∈ ℝ, log ℓ(cZ) is integrable and
E{log ℓ(cZ)} = −log s − (s^{−2} − 1)c²s²/2, from log ℓ(y) = −log s − (s^{−2} − 1)y²/2.
E-power of a product of likelihood ratios: if g_i ∼ N(0, s²) under Q for every
i ∈ S, then log ∏_{i∈S} ℓ(g_i) is Q-integrable with expectation |S|κ.
E-powers of the products of likelihood ratios #
E_Q(log E*_t) = (t − 1)κ under the mixture Q (Proposition 2), since the Y_i are
N(0, s²) variables under Q.
E_{Q_μ}(log E*_t) = (t − 1)κ under every Q_μ, since the Y_i are N(0, s²) variables
under Q_μ.
Under Q_μ, X_i − μ ∼ N(0, s²).
E_{Q_μ}{log ∏_{i=1}^t ℓ(X_i − μ)} = tκ (Proposition S4(i)), since the X_i − μ are
N(0, s²) variables under Q_μ.
The Gibbs inequality and the standing assumption #
If 0 < F < ∞ and log F is integrable, then the positive part of log F has a finite
integral.
The Gibbs inequality for Q_μ: for every E ∈ ℰ_t, E_{Q_μ}(log E) ≤ tκ, the divergence
KL(Q_{μ,t} ‖ P_{μ,t}), since E_{Q_μ}(E/L^μ_t) = E_μ(E) ≤ 1; moreover,
E_{Q_μ}{(log E)⁺} ≤ E_{Q_μ}{(log L^μ_t)⁺} + 1.
The positive parts of the logarithms of the likelihood ratios L^μ_t have the same expectation
under every Q_μ, by the translation x ↦ x + μ.
The uniform bound E_{Q_0}{(log L^0_t)⁺} + 1 on E_{Q_μ}{(log E)⁺} for E ∈ ℰ_t.

Instances For
Under the mixture Q, the positive part of log E has expectation at most
posLogBound s t for every E ∈ ℰ_t.
The standing assumption for the mixture: for every s > 0, every ρ, and every
E ∈ ℰ_t, E_Q(log E) ≤ tκ. The bound E_{Q_μ}(log E) ≤ tκ of the Gibbs inequality holds under
every Q_μ, and it is averaged over μ ∼ N(0, ρ²) separately for the positive and negative parts
of log E.
The numéraire of Proposition 2 #
E*_t is a function of Y^t: E*_t = G(Y^t) with G(u) = ∏_j ℓ(u_j).
E*_t ∈ ℰ_t.
Proposition 2, numéraire: for ρ² ≥ 1 − s² and t ≥ 1, E*_t = dQ_t/dP*_t with the
mixture P*_t = ∫ P_{θ,t} N{0, ρ² − (1 − s²)/t}(dθ) of null distributions, so that E*_t is the
numéraire and P*_t the measure in eq. (2).
Partial result 1: for s > 0 and ρ² ≥ 1 − s², E*_t = ∏_{i=2}^t ℓ(Y_i) is the numéraire
of the mixture Q at every horizon t ≥ 0; at t = 0, E*_0 = 1.
Partial result 2: for s > 0 and every ρ, numéraires of the mixture Q at every horizon
give the setting of Sections 1 and 2; the standing assumption follows from
sup_{E ∈ ℰ_t} E_Q(log E) ≤ tκ.
