Write . This is a finite positive measure. For , the conditional expectation inequality givesThe union is an algebra of sets generating , since half-open dyadic intervals generate all open sets and hence all Borel sets. The class is closed under increasing and decreasing limits, by continuity of these finite measures. The Monotone class theorem extends the inequality from to every Borel set. Approximation by nonnegative simple functions and monotone convergence then giveThe difference is therefore a finite nonnegative measure, not merely a signed measure. For ,Consequently its restricted Radon-Nikodym derivative isChoose the cell-average versions of all the conditional expectations. Then is constant on each level- cell and equals there, so these versions are nonnegative at every point.
