Editing Stochastic process (section)

====Modification====
A '''modification''' of a stochastic process is another stochastic process, which is closely related to the original stochastic process. More precisely, a stochastic process <math>X</math> that has the same index set <math>T</math>, state space <math>S</math>, and probability space <math>(\Omega,{\cal F},P)</math> as another stochastic process <math>Y</math> is said to be a modification of <math>X</math> if for all <math>t\in T</math> the following
<div class="center"><math>
P(X_t=Y_t)=1 ,
</math></div>
holds. Two stochastic processes that are modifications of each other have the same finite-dimensional law<ref name="RogersWilliams2000page130">{{cite book|author1=L. C. G.

Instead of modification, the term '''version''' is also used,<ref name="Adler2010page14"/><ref name="Klebaner2005page48">{{cite book|author=Fima C.

If a continuous-time real-valued stochastic process meets certain moment conditions on its increments, then the [[Kolmogorov continuity theorem]] says that there exists a modification of this process that has continuous sample paths with probability one, so the stochastic process has a continuous modification or version.<ref name="Øksendal2003page14"/><ref name="Florescu2014page472"/><ref name="ApplebaumBook2004page20">{{cite book|author=David Applebaum|title=Lévy Processes and Stochastic Calculus|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=q7eDUjdJxIkC|year=2004|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-83263-2|page=20}}</ref> The theorem can also be generalized to random fields so the index set is <math>n</math>-dimensional Euclidean space<ref name="Kunita1997page31">{{cite book|author=Hiroshi Kunita|title=Stochastic Flows and Stochastic Differential Equations|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_S1RiCosqbMC|year=1997|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-59925-2|page=31}}</ref> as well as to stochastic processes with [[metric spaces]] as their state spaces.<ref name="Kallenberg2002page">{{cite book|author=Olav Kallenberg|title=Foundations of Modern Probability|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=L6fhXh13OyMC|year=2002|publisher=Springer Science & Business Media|isbn=978-0-387-95313-7|page=35}}</ref>
