On empirical meaning of randomness with respect to a real parameter

Abstract
We study the empirical meaning of randomness with respect to a family of probability distributions , where is a real parameter, using algorithmic randomness theory. In the case when for a computable probability distribution an effectively strongly consistent estimate exists, we show that the Levin's a priory semicomputable semimeasure of the set of all -random sequences is positive if and only if the parameter is a computable real number. The different methods for generating ``meaningful'' -random sequences with noncomputable are discussed.
