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.

Likelihood-ratio equivalence on common discrete support

Definition

Let X be countable with its full σ-field, so it is standard Borel under the discrete metric. Let Θ≠∅, and let (Pθ)θ∈Θ be dominated by a fixed σ-finite positive measure μ. Choose the finite-valued densities pθ=dPθ/dμ as in Likelihood densities. Let X0⊆X satisfy Pθ(X0)=1 and Pθ({x})>0 for every x∈X0 and every θ. Write mθ(x)=Pθ({x}). For each x∈X0, 0<μ({x})<∞ and pθ(x)=mθ(x)/μ({x}): positivity follows from mθ(x)>0, finiteness from sigma-finiteness, and the value is fixed by the density integral on the positive-measure singleton. Consequently

pθ(x)pθ(y)=mθ(x)mθ(y)μ({y})μ({x}).

For x,y∈X0, define x∼y if there is a constant c(x,y)>0 such that mθ(x)/mθ(y)=c(x,y) for every θ. The displayed fixed singleton factor shows this is equivalent to constancy of the common-reference density ratio. This is an equivalence relation: the constants for (x,x), (y,x) and (x,z) are respectively 1, c(x,y)−1 and c(x,y)c(y,z). Its equivalence classes form a countable quotient. Equip that quotient with its discrete σ-field; it is standard Borel because the discrete metric is complete and the countable space itself is dense. Since Θ≠∅ and Pθ(X0)=1, X0 is nonempty; define the class statistic by mapping each point of X0 to its class and every point off X0 to any fixed class. It is measurable because X has the full σ-field, and values off X0 are null under every law.

Dependency tree · two levels

10 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.
