Predictable process

In stochastic analysis, a part of the mathematical theory of probability, a predictable process is a stochastic process whose value is knowable at a prior time. The predictable processes form the smallest class that is closed under taking limits of sequences and contains all adapted left-continuous processes.^{[clarification needed]}

Mathematical definition

[edit | edit source]

Discrete-time process

[edit | edit source]

Given a filtered probability space $(Ω, ℱ, (ℱ_{n})_{n \in ℕ}, ℙ)$ , then a stochastic process $(X_{n})_{n \in ℕ}$ is predictable if $X_{n + 1}$ is measurable with respect to the σ-algebra $ℱ_{n}$ for each n.^[1]

Continuous-time process

[edit | edit source]

Given a filtered probability space $(Ω, ℱ, (ℱ_{t})_{t \geq 0}, ℙ)$ , then a continuous-time stochastic process $(X_{t})_{t \geq 0}$ is predictable if $X$ , considered as a mapping from $Ω \times ℝ_{+}$ , is measurable with respect to the σ-algebra generated by all left-continuous adapted processes.^[2] This σ-algebra is also called the predictable σ-algebra.

Examples

Every deterministic process is a predictable process.^{[citation needed]}
Every continuous-time adapted process that is left continuous is a predictable process.^{[citation needed]}
