Abstract

The Robbins–Monro algorithm with randomly varying truncations for measurements with non-additive noise is considered. Assuming that the function under observation is locally Lipschitz-continuous in its first argument and that the noise is a φ-mixing process, strong consistency of the estimate is shown. Neither growth rate restriction on the function, nor the decreasing rate of the mixing coefficients are required.
