Transformation of Observations in Stochastic Approximation
随机逼近中的观测变换
The general stochastic approximation procedure: $X_{n+1} = X_n - a_n c_n^{-1}h(Y_n),\quad n = 1,2, \cdots$ is considered, where $h$ is a Borel measurable transformation on the random observations $Y_n$. Under some mild requirements on $h$ and on the error random variables, the asymptotic properties, the a.s. convergence and the asymptotic normality are studied. The analysis is confined to the case where the error random variables are (conditionally) distributed according to…
