The following results apply.

  • Definition 1 could be rewritten by taking the limits as
  • A non-UI sequence. Let, and define
X_n(\omega) = \begin{cases} n, & \omega\in (0,1/n), \\ 0, & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}
Clearly, and indeed for all n. However,
and comparing with definition 1, it is seen that the sequence is not uniformly integrable.
  • By using Definition 2 in the above example, it can be seen that the first clause is not satisfied as the s are not bounded in . If is a UI random variable, by splitting
and bounding each of the two, it can be seen that a uniformly integrable random variable is always bounded in . It can also be shown that any random variable will satisfy clause 2 in Definition 2.
  • If any sequence of random variables is dominated by an integrable, non-negative : that is, for all ω and n,
then the class of random variables is uniformly integrable.
  • A class of random variables bounded in is uniformly integrable.

    “Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
