Abstract
Some notions ofL p (μ)-completeness resp. totally L p (μ)-completeness (1≦p≦∞) are characterized for families of probability distributions dominated by aσ-finite measureμ and their conservation with respect to direct products is proved. Furthermore, it is shown that totallyL ∞(μ)-completeness does not implyL 1(μ)-completeness and that there are families of probability distributions in the i.i.d. case induced by the order statistic, which are L1(μ)-complete but not totallyL ∞(μ)-complete.
