Extract

Let Yn ⇒ Y∞ be a sequence of random variables converging in distribution, or more generally a sequenceof random elements of a suitable metric space whose distributions are converging weakly. Let τn → ∞ be positive integer-valued random variables. If {τn} and {Yn} are independent, it is trivial that
