Cramér-Wold theorem

Cramér-Wold theorem

In mathematics, the Cramér-Wold theorem in measure theory states that a Borel probability measure on R^k is uniquely determined by the totality of its one-dimensional projections. The theorem is named after Harald Cramér and Herman Ole Andreas Wold.

Let

: overline{X}_n = (X_{n1},dots,X_{nk}) ;

and

: ; overline{X} = (X_1,dots,X_k)

be random vectors of dimension k. Then overline{X}_n converges to overline{X} if and only if:

: sum_{i=1}^k t_iX_{ni} frac{D}{overrightarrow{infty sum_{i=1}^k t_iX_i.

for each (t_1,dots,t_k)in mathbb{R}^k That is if every fixed linear combination of the coordinates of overline{X}_n converges in distribution to the correspondent linear combination of coordinates of overline{X} .
