Abstract
This note explores the convergence properties of certain sequences of conditional probabilities arising in a journal selection problem, where the probabilities of interest are decreasing in either a deterministic or stochastic fashion. We prove the convergence to a nonextreme value of the probability of an eventual event for any choice of problem parameters within the open unit interval. Computational results illustrate the convergence properties.
