Exact requirements for interchanging mean square derivatives with limits and expectations












0












$begingroup$


I've recently took an applied course in stochastic processes, and I'm far from satisfied with how we dealt with mean square derivatives.



Firstly, we defined a mean square derivative of a process $mathbb X(t)$ with an underlying probability space $(mathbb R, Sigma, mathbb P)$ as a process denoted by $mathbb X'(t)$ such that



$$displaystylelim_{hto 0}mathbb Eleft[left(frac{mathbb X(t+h)-mathbb X(t)}{h} - mathbb X'(t)right)^2right] = 0.$$



In the exercises, we seemed to replace $mathbb X'(t)$ with a difference quotient and a limit in the following fashion:



$$mathbb E[f(mathbb X'(t))] = mathbb Eleft[displaystylelim_{hto 0} fleft(frac{mathbb X(t+h)-mathbb X(t)}{h}right)right] = displaystylelim_{hto 0} mathbb Eleft[ fleft(frac{mathbb X(t+h)-mathbb X(t)}{h}right)right]$$



for sufficiently "nice" functions $f$.



How this worked was absolutely not explained and just ad-hoced away. When can you actually do this sort of thing?

    Your statement has an obvious error. It should have $frac{X(t+h)-X(t)}{h}$ in several places.
