Let $X$ be a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and variance $\sigma^2$. Furthermore we have a constant $\rho$. Suppose our probability space is carrying a filtration. Now I want to calculate the following conditional expectation: $$E[e^X\mathcal1_{\{X>f(\rho)\}}\mid\mathcal{F}_t]$$ where $f$ is a deterministic function. Similar I want also to calculate $$E[\mathcal1_{\{X>f(\rho)\}}\mid\mathcal{F}_t]$$ How can I calculate this? Thanks for you help hulik |

As @Yury explained in the comments, it is impossible to say anything meaningful without knowing the relationship of $X$ and $\mathcal F_t$. For example, if $X$ is $\mathcal F_t$-measurable then $$ \mathbb E(\mathrm e^X\mathbf 1_{X\gt f(\rho)}\mid\mathcal F_t)=\mathrm e^X\mathbf 1_{X\gt f(\rho)},\qquad\mathbb P(X\gt f(\rho)\mid\mathcal F_t)=\mathbf 1_{X\gt f(\rho)}. $$ On the other hand, if $X$ is independent of $\mathcal F_t$ then $$ \mathbb E(\mathrm e^X\mathbf 1_{X\gt f(\rho)}\mid\mathcal F_t)=\mathbb E(\mathrm e^X\mathbf 1_{X\gt f(\rho)}),\qquad\mathbb P(X\gt f(\rho)\mid\mathcal F_t)=\mathbb P(X\gt f(\rho)). $$ |
