| contents | We provide a convergence result for sequences of random variables taking values in a metric space that satisfy a stochastic quasi-Fejér monotonicity condition, in the context of a (local) compactness assumption. Our result is quantitative in that we derive an explicit and effective construction which, in terms of only a few moduli representing quantitative witnesses to key properties of the sequence of random variables and the underlying metric space involved, provides a metastable rate of pointwise convergence, a type of generalized fluctuation bound. That quantitative result in particular relies on the development of a finitary theory of martingales, culminating in a fully finitary Robbins-Siegmund theorem. We outline how this result particularises to the circumstances of the seminal work of Combettes and Pesquet on stochastic quasi-Fejér monotone sequences in separable Hilbert spaces, and we provide an initial application by illustrating how these results can be used to provide a metastable rate of pointwise convergence for a stochastic Krasnoselskii-Mann scheme solving a stochastic common fixed point problem for nonexpansive maps over proper Hadamard spaces. This work is set in the context of recent applications of the logic-based methodology of proof mining to probability theory, and represents its most sophisticated case study to date. |
