Abstract: Let E be a space of observables in a sequence of trials xin and define mn to be the empirical distributions of the outcomes. We discuss the almost sure convergence of the sequence mn in terms of the psi-weak topology of measures, when the sequence xin is assumed to be stationary. In this respect, the limit variable is naturally described as a certain canonical conditional distribution. Then, given some functional au defined on a space of laws, the consistency of the estimators au(mn) is investigated. Hence, a criterion for a refined notion of robustness, that applies when considering random measures, is provided in terms of the modulus of continuity of au.
