Extract

A stochastic process X = {X(t): t ∈ [0, 1]} on a probability space (Ω, , ℙ) is said to have finite expectation if the function defined on the measureable rectangles in Ω × [0, 1] by

for A and (s, t) ⊂ [0, 1] gives rise to a complex measure in each of its two coordinates (see [1], definition 1·1). Equivalently, X has finite expectation if

is finite. The function defined by (1), effectively a generalization of the Doléans measure (see e.g. [4] pp. 33–35), is extendible to a bona fide complex measure on Ω × [0, 1] if and only if its ‘total variation’
