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.

Bayes formula for a finite mixture with continuous observation

Example

Assume AC for Gaussian normalization and the cited analytic interfaces. Let 0<p<1, with prior P(J=0)=p and P(J=1)=1p. Given J=j the observation has density gj(y)=(2π)1/2e(yj)2/2, the law N(j,1). Then a posterior probability of J=1 given Y=y is w(y)=(1p)g1(y)pg0(y)+(1p)g1(y)=(1p)ey1/2p+(1p)ey1/2.

It is defined for every real y. At y=1/2 it equals the prior probability 1p.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The hypotheses and conventions in the example.

[F1]

Normalize a supplied dominated likelihood against the prior. Bayes formula for dominated kernels.

[F2]

The standard Gaussian density is positive and integrates to one under AC. The standard normal density has total mass one.

[F3]

Normal location parameters refer to affine pushforwards of the standard law. Standard normal and normal laws.

[F4]

AC supplies Gaussian normalization and countable-choice analytic bridges. The Axiom of Choice.

[F5]

Each nonnegative likelihood density defines a measure. The indefinite integral of a nonnegative measurable function is a measure.

[F7]

Increasing compact intervals exhaust the nonnegative full-line integrals. Monotone convergence for the integral.

[F8]

Compact continuous substitutions convert to Lebesgue integrals under countable choice. A bounded Riemann integrable function on a closed bounded interval is Lebesgue measurable and has the same integral.

[F9]

CDFs uniquely identify real probability measures under countable choice. Probability laws correspond to distribution functions.

1.1

For j=0 the integral of g0 is one by [F2]. For j=1, the translation t=y1 has derivative one; [F6] with continuous outer phi, then [F8] and [F7] on increasing compact intervals, gives g1=ϕ=1. The same calculation on (,z] gives zgj=zjϕ, the CDF of the translated standard law [F3]. Therefore [F9] identifies it as N(j,1). Both functions are positive measurable and finite. By [F5] they define probability likelihoods; measurability in the discrete parameter j is automatic because the parameter set is finite. The joint density (j,y)gj(y) is measurable since each of its two sections is, and the two slices are measurable. The declared AC [F4] covers all analytic choice assumptions.

2.1

Take prior π=pδ0+(1p)δ1 on the two-point space and observation Lebesgue measure, which is sigma-finite. In [F1] the marginal density is m(y)=pg0(y)+(1p)g1(y)>0 and finite for every real y. Its total mass is p+(1p)=1 by step 1.1. The posterior mass of {1} is therefore the first displayed ratio, and that of {0} is 1w(y); these sum to one. Dividing numerator and denominator by g0(y)>0 and computing g1(y)/g0(y)=exp((y2(y1)2)/2)=ey1/2 gives the second ratio. At y=1/2 the exponential is one, so w(1/2)=1p. For p=1/2, for example, w(0)=1/(1+e1/2) and w(1)=e1/2/(1+e1/2). Finally for every Borel B, Bw(y)m(y)dy=(1p)Bg1(y)dy=P(J=1,YB), directly verifying the posterior event calculation.
