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.

Bernoulli likelihood ratio and change of measure

Example

Let X={0,1}, A=2X, and let μ be counting measure. Set Θ={0,1} and define the experiment's probability measures by

P0({1})=13,P0({0})=23,P1({1})=23,P1({0})=13.

Both are dominated by μ. Their likelihood-ratio density is r(0)=1/2 and r(1)=2.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC (for the linked general theorem), the two-point measurable space, counting measure, and probability mass assignments in the example.

[F1]

Sigma-algebras: a sigma-algebra is an algebra of subsets closed under countable unions; the full power set of {0,1} is such an algebra.

[F2]

Measurable spaces and measurable sets: a measurable space is a set with a sigma-algebra.

[F3]

Counting measure on an arbitrary set, Counting measure is a measure, and Finite, sigma-finite, and semifinite measures: counting measure assigns mass 1 to each singleton and is a measure; here its total mass is 2, so it is finite and sigma-finite.

[F4]

Probability measures and probability spaces: a measure of total mass 1 is a probability measure.

[F5]

Statistical experiments: an experiment is a parameter-indexed family of probability measures on one measurable sample space.

[F6]

Dominated statistical experiments: domination means each sampling law is absolutely continuous with respect to the supplied sigma-finite positive measure.

[F7]

Likelihood densities: for a fixed observation x, likelihood is the selected density value pθ(x).

[F8]

Likelihood ratio as a Radon–Nikodym derivative: for P1≪P0, the full likelihood-ratio class is dP1/dP0.

[F9]

Likelihood-ratio change of measure: when P1≪P0, a nonnegative likelihood-ratio representative satisfies EP0[gr]=EP1[g] for every nonnegative measurable g and every P1-integrable real g.

[A1]

The Axiom of Choice: AC states that every family of nonempty sets has a choice function; the finite example itself uses explicit mass functions.

Verification

Given: X={0,1}, the four masses above, and counting measure μ.

1.1F1F2F3F4F5F6givenalgebra

The full power set is a sigma-algebra by [F1], so [F2] gives a measurable space. The counting measure is finite with μ(X)=2 by [F3], hence sigma-finite. Each displayed mass is nonnegative and the two masses for each Pi sum to 1. For any disjoint sequence of events, each point belongs to at most one event, so the mass formula is countably additive; each Pi is therefore a probability measure by [F4]. Since counting measure assigns positive mass to every nonempty subset, Pi≪μ, and the family is a dominated experiment by [F5]–[F6].

1.2A1F7F8givenalgebra

Put pi(x):=Pi({x}) for i∈{0,1}. For every A⊆X, ∫Api dμ=∑x∈Api(x)=Pi(A), so these are density representatives as in [F7]. Since p0 is positive at both points, P1≪P0; define r(x)=p1(x)/p0(x). For every A⊆X, ∫Ar dP0=∑x∈Ar(x)p0(x)=∑x∈Ap1(x)=P1(A); thus r represents the likelihood-ratio derivative [F8], with r(0)=(1/3)/(2/3)=1/2 and r(1)=(2/3)/(1/3)=2.

For any real-valued g on X, EP0[gr]=23g(0)12+13g(1)2=13g(0)+23g(1)=EP1[g]. Thus the change-of-measure identity holds directly, in agreement with [A1, F9].
