A proof of Sanov's Theorem via discretizations

Probability 2022-04-20 v2

Abstract

We present an alternative proof of Sanov's theorem for Polish spaces in the weak topology that follows via discretization arguments. We combine the simpler version of Sanov's Theorem for discrete finite spaces and well chosen finite discretizations of the Polish space. The main tool in our proof is an explicit control on the rate of convergence for the approximated measures.
