Write $Ph=\mathbb{E}h(X)$ and $P_{n}h=n^{-1}{\sum }_{i}h(X_i)$ for the expectation and empirical measure. A sufficient bracketing of a function class condition is that, for every $\epsilon >0$, finitely many brackets $[l_j,u_j]$ cover $\mathcal{H}$, with measurable integrable endpoints and $P(u_j-l_j)<\epsilon$. The uniform strong law from finite L1 bracketing then givesHere the observations are independent and identically distributed. For an uncountable class, one either assumes a measurable supremum, for example through a pointwise separable function class, or formulates the conclusion as a pathwise bound on a common probability-one event.

For the parameterized class, the Heine-Borel theorem makes $\Theta$ compact. Put $M(x)={\sup }_{\theta \in \Theta }|q(\theta ,x)|$. A countable dense subset of $\Theta$ gives the same supremum because of continuity, so $M$ is measurable. Define the modulusThe supremum is measurable by taking a countable dense subset of the compact set of admissible pairs. For each $x$, uniform continuity on $\Theta$ gives $w_{\delta }(x)\to 0$. Also $w_{\delta }\le 2M$, and $PM<\infty$. Thus the dominated convergence theorem gives $P{w}_{\delta }\to 0$.

Choose a finite net of radius $\delta$ ${\theta }_1,\dots ,{\theta }_N$ in $\Theta$. The lower and upper envelopes of $q(\theta ,\cdot )$ over each closed ball $\Theta \cap \overline{B}({\theta }_j,\delta )$ are measurable integrable function brackets; the same countable-dense-set argument applies within each such compact ball. Their widths are at most $w_{2\delta }$. They cover the whole class, so its bracketing of a function class condition follows. Moreover, dominated convergence shows that $\theta \mapsto Pq(\theta ,\cdot )$ is continuous. Both empirical and population functions therefore have a supremum over a common countable dense parameter set. Applying the uniform strong law from finite L1 bracketing proves uniform almost-sure convergence over the entire compact parameter set, rather than merely convergence at each fixed parameter.

For the exponential family,where $A={\sup }_{\Theta }|\theta |$ and $B={\sup }_{\Theta }|K(\theta )|$. Thus a weak sufficient condition is bounded $K$ on $\Theta$, $f_0(X)>0$ almost surely, and integrability of $|X|+|\log f_0(X)|$ under the sampling law. No positive lower bound on $f_0$ over the whole real line is required. Zeros off the sampling support are harmless: choose arbitrary finite versions of the log-densities on that common null set when applying the function-class theorem.

If the sampling law is $f({\theta }_0,\cdot )$, one convenient assumption is that $\Theta$ is a compact subset of the interior of the finite domain of the cumulant function of an exponential family, andOn that interior, $K$ is continuous, hence bounded on $\Theta$. Finiteness of $K$ at ${\theta }_0\pm a$ for some $a>0$ implies ${\mathbb{E}}_{{\theta }_0}{e}^{a|X|}<\infty$, hence ${\mathbb{E}}_{{\theta }_0}|X|<\infty$. The displayed integral gives the remaining integrability. If the observations come from an arbitrary unrelated law, assumptions on $K$ and $f_0$ alone cannot control that law's tails; the sampling-law integrability must then be stated explicitly.
