Abstract

In this paper we obtain some useful properties of the Kullback-Leibler (K-L) number. For example, we show that the K-L number is jointly lower semi-continuous in both arguments, on the class of probability measures endowed with the weak topology. We use some of these properties to obtain a generalization of Sanov's theorem, and establish the large deviation principle for the bootstrap empirical measure, for almost all infinite sample sequences.
