How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Independent RQMC replicates estimate randomization variance
Statement
Fix the observed data and an integrable RQMC target . Suppose one full-set randomization produces an estimator with and finite variance . For independent full-set randomizations, write their IID estimates as and their mean as . Then is unbiased for . This variance is over computation randomization conditional on the fixed data and rule; it does not include data-sampling variation.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The fixed target, an RQMC estimator with mean and finite variance, and independent full-set randomizations.
Randomized quasi-Monte Carlo point sets and estimators: An independent full-set randomization is an independent copy of the entire point-array vector.
Marginal uniformity makes an RQMC rule unbiased: A single marginally uniform rule has expectation for every Borel integrable .
Unbiased variance estimate from independent computation replicates: For IID real with finite variance, is unbiased for .
Moments, variance, and covariance on a probability space: Variance is for a square-integrable real variable.
Proof
Given: The hypotheses in the Statement.
By [F1], independent full-set randomizations give independent estimates with the same law. By [F2] their common mean is , and the stated finite variance supplies the moment hypothesis of [F3].
Apply [F3] to . It gives . Independence and the common variance give . Since the data are fixed in the probability law of these replicates, this variance concerns randomization only.

13 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
