In probability and statistics, a probability distribution assigns a probability to each measurable subset of the possible outcomes of a random experiment, survey, or procedure of statistical inference.

Is this a sufficient condition for joint normal distribution?

Just to slightly expand on the existing answer: you can see that it is indeed true as an immediate consequence of Bochner's theorem. Also, Gaussian measures on infinite-dimensional spaces are actually …

Do equal integrals of $1/(1+x^a)$ imply equal measure?

Yes, provided that you know a priori that $\int_{(0,1]} x^{-\kappa} d\mu(x) < \infty$ (and the same for $\nu$) for some $\kappa > 0$. By taking the limit $a \to \infty$, you can detect the size of the …

Gaussian mixtures are dense in total variation?

Yes. As you mentioned, this is really about positive $L^1$ functions. First, approximate your function by a compactly supported Lipschitz function, which we know are dense in $L^1$ (and its easy to sh …

"Сross сubic variation" of two Brownian motions and interpretation of the simulation result

As Bjørn already mentioned, the CLT shows that the limit is indeed normal with variance $3 T$. A more interesting case is that of $$ I = \lim_{\Delta \to 0} \sum_{i=0}^n f(W_{i\Delta},B_{i\Delta})\De …

Does strong stochastic ordering exist?

You could define a distance on probability measures by the smallest $c$ such that there exists a coupling giving mass $1$ to a $c$-neighbourhood of the diagonal. Many pairs would be infinite distance …

Do constrained random walks converge weakly to the Wiener measure on the space of constraine...

As Nate already pointed out, the Brownian motion conditioned to stay inside $D$ up to time $1$ (which is what the limit in "Added later" gives you) will not satisfy (2). I suspect (and this what there …

Convergence speed of a random dyadic rational generator

This is a cute problem... Let's normalise your multiset $M$ to a probability measure $\mu$ by setting $\mu = {1\over |M|} \sum_{x \in M} \delta_x$ (repeated elements are repeated in the sum). Write al …
