Subordination of a Lévy process 2026-10-05
If is a Lévy process and an independent subordinator, then is a Lévy process. Conditional on the clock, increments of over disjoint clock intervals are independent; averaging over the independent stationary increments of the clock gives the same properties for . If , its characteristic function is . For standard Brownian motion, , so this is the clock's Laplace transform at .
If independent and identically distributed random variables have characteristic function at zero, then their sample mean has convergence in distribution to : its characteristic function is . This is also convergence in probability by convergence in distribution to a constant implies convergence in probability.
