Let (omega,F,P) be a probability space. For each G in F, define G as the s-field generated by G and those sets f in F satisfying P(f) in {0, 1}. Conditions for P to be atomic on the intersection of the complements of Ai for i=1,..,k, with A1, . . . ,Ak in F sub-s-fields, are given. Conditions...

In various frameworks, to assess the joint distribution of a k-dimensional random vector X=(X1,…,Xk), one selects some putative conditional distributions Q1,…,Qk. Each Qi is regarded as a possible (or putative) conditional distribution for Xi given (X1,…,Xi−1,Xi+1,…,Xk). The Qi are...
