Uniqueness of a limit in probability Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If converges in probability to both and , then almost surely. Indeed, the triangle inequality and a union bound show that for every .
Weighted BK boundary-splitting estimate 2026-10-06
For independent bond percolation on the cubic lattice, define and , with . Split an open self-avoiding walk at its first radius- boundary vertex . The remaining segment reaches distance at least from , using disjoint edges. The BK inequality, translation invariance and the union bound yield the displayed estimate. Keeping the individual connection weights can be stronger than replacing their sum by .
Weighted Bonferroni correction 2026-09-28
For positive deterministic weights , the weighted Bonferroni correction rejects whenThe union bound over the true nulls controls the familywise error rate without an independence assumption.
Weighted Holm step-down procedure 2026-09-28
Order increasingly. At rank , reject the corresponding hypothesis whenand otherwise stop. The first ordered true null reduces FWER control to a weighted union bound; the shrinking denominator makes this procedure at least as powerful as the Weighted Bonferroni correction.
Given valid p-values for constancy on intervals of length at least two, reject when . Every rejected true interval forces rejection of its maximal constant block. A union bound over the non-singleton maximal blocks gives familywise error rate at most , since their lengths sum to at most . Singleton blocks have no tested interval in this formulation.
