DOOBS DECOMPOSITION AND MARTINGALES

November 13th, 2003, 11:26 am

Could someone help me prove equation 1:For any adapted process {x(t)} and any 0<=s<=t<=TEp[z(t)x(t)|F(s)] -------------------- = Eq[x(t)|F(s)] [1]Ep[z(t)|F(s)]where z(t) is the likelihood ratio process defined as Ep[q/p|F(t)] F is a filtration processand z(t) is a positive P-martingaleMany thanks

I did have a go at this, using tower's law....but cam unstuck. fyi. tower's law states:Ep[Ep(x|G)|F]=Ep[x|F]
