predictable -algebra

The least -algebra of sets in

generated by all mappings of the set into that are (for each fixed ) continuous from the left (in ) and -adapted to a non-decreasing family of sub--algebras , , where is a measurable space. A predictable -algebra can be generated by any of the following families of sets:

1) , where and , where is a stopping time (cf. Markov moment) and a stochastic interval;

2) , where , and , where and .

Between optional -algebras (cf. Optional sigma-algebra) and predictable -algebras there is the relation .

Comments

Instead of "(s-) algebra" one more often uses (-) field.
