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.
Estimator sequences in IID experiments
Definition
Let be a parametric model on a statistical experiment, and let be an estimand whose target set is equipped with a metric (Statistical experiments, Parametric statistical models, Estimands on a statistical model, Metric space: iff , symmetry, and the triangle inequality; pseudometric and ultrametric). For , the IID sample-size- experiment has sample space , product sigma-algebra , and sampling law at parameter (The product sigma-algebra and its finite iterates). The product law is defined recursively from ; each factor is a probability measure and hence sigma-finite, so the finite product theorem supplies its existence, rectangle formula, and uniqueness (For sigma-finite factors, the product measure exists, has the rectangle formula, is sigma-finite, and is unique).
A nonrandomized estimator sequence of is a sequence of measurable maps, in the sense of A measurable function between measurable spaces, where is the sigma-algebra generated by the open sets of the metric , that is, the Borel sigma-algebra of its metric topology (The Borel sigma-algebra of a topological space). Its sampling distribution at and sample size is the pushforward of by .
This definition fixes IID repeated sampling and data-measurable estimators. It imposes no measurability on the parameter map or on .

Dependency tree · two levels
32 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.
