Appendix<br />

A. Def<strong>in</strong>itions and assumptions<br />

In order to prove the results claimed <strong>in</strong> Theorems 1 and 2, we need to establish some<br />

def<strong>in</strong>itions and assumptions.<br />

(L.1) For fixed but arbitrary η1,φ + , where η ∈ �, and φ + ∈ �, let<br />

ρ � φ + ,η � �<br />

= log p � ϕ(ψ,φ + ); ξ � dF � ϕ(ψ,φ + ); ξ � .<br />

If η �= η1, then<br />

ρ (φ,η)
