Definition of predictable process












5












$begingroup$


I am trying to understand the notion of predictable process. Let $(Ω,F_t,P)$ be a filtered measure space, satisfying the usual condition. Things starts with the predictable $sigma$-algebra ${mathcal P}$, which is generated by sets of the form $Atimes (a,b]$ with $Ain{mathcal F}_a$ and $Atimes {0}$ with $Ain{mathcal F}_0$.



My question: is it true that $Sin {mathcal P}$ if and only if $S$ is progressive and ${omega|(omega,t)in S}in{mathcal F}_{t−}$ for all $t$? In another word, is it true that $X$ is predictable if and only if $X$ is progressive and $X$ is adapted to the filtration ${mathcal F}_{t−}$?



The only if part is easy but I am not sure about the if part. I feel that $X$ being ${mathcal F}_{t−}$-measurable seems to be a more "reasonable" definition of "predictable", but maybe I am wrong.

          No, it's not true.



          First of all, recall that any adapted càdlàg process $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ is progressively measurable. This means that for any such process $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ your assertion reads




          $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ is predictable $iff$ $X_{t}$ is $mathcal{F}_{t-}$-measurable for any $t geq 0$.




          Now consider for instance a Poisson process $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$, and let $(mathcal{F}_t)_{t geq 0}$ be its completed canonical filtration. By the very definition of $mathcal{F}_{t-}$, we know that $X_{t-} = lim_{s uparrow t} X_s$ is $mathcal{F}_{t-}$-measurable. Since $X_t = X_{t-}$ almost surely we find that $X_t$ is $mathcal{F}_{t-}$-measurable for any $t geq 0$. However, $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ is not predictable. Indeed: If $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ was predictable, then



          $$M_t := X_t -t mathbb{E}(X_1), qquad t geq 0,$$



          would be a predictable martingale which would imply that $(M_t)_{t geq 0}$ has continuous sample paths (see e.g. here) which is clearly not true; hence $(X_t)_{t geq 0}$ is not predictable.

                    How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

                    3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

                    Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title.
