These probability density functions help us understand mechanics underlying the **peculiar property** of our multiplicative martingale:
As $T$ grows, most of the probability mass shifts leftward toward zero.
For example, note that most mass is near $1$ for $T =10$ or $T = 100$ but most of it is near $0$ for $T = 5000$.
As $T$ grows, the tail of the density of $\widetilde M_T$ lengthens toward the right.
Enough mass moves toward the right tail to keep $E \widetilde M_T = 1$ even as most mass in the distribution of $\widetilde M_T$ collapses around $0$.
These probability density functions help us understand mechanics underlying the **peculiar property** of our multiplicative martingale:
```{admonition} Key Insights from Density Evolution
:class: important
1. **Mass concentration:** As $T$ grows, most probability mass shifts leftward toward zero (compare $T=10$ vs $T=5000$)
2. **Right tail lengthening:** The right tail extends further out, becoming heavier over time
3. **Mean preservation paradox:** Despite leftward mass shift, the mean stays at unity because sufficient mass moves into the lengthening right tail
This explains how $E \widetilde M_T = 1$ coexists with $\widetilde M_T \rightarrow 0$ almost surely.Suggested improvement: These probability density functions help us understand mechanics underlying the **peculiar property** of our multiplicative martingale:Explanation: An admonition box summarizing the key insights makes the connection between the visual evidence and the peculiar property more explicit and memorable. |
