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.
A randomized UMP test for a binomial model
Example
Assume AC. Let have mass function for , where . For against , the randomized test with rejection function is UMP of level .
Verification
Given: The finite experiment and hypotheses in the statement.
[F1] In a family with MLR in , the upper boundary-randomized threshold test calibrated at is UMP for versus . (The Karlin–Rubin theorem for one-sided tests)
[F2] A randomized test is a binary-action probability kernel; its test function is a measurable rejection probability in . (Randomized tests)
[F3] MLR means the likelihood ratio for every larger parameter is nondecreasing in , including the extended-ratio support convention. (Families with a monotone likelihood ratio)
[F4] The size of a test is the supremum of its null rejection probabilities, and level means that size is at most . (Test size and power)
[F5] A probability kernel assigns a probability measure to each observation and has measurable event-evaluation functions. (Measure kernel and probability kernel)
The sample space has eight points, and , so the masses define a probability law; the statistic is measurable on the finite power-set space.
For , the likelihood ratio is . The second base exceeds one since , so the ratio increases with and [F3] applies.
At , each point has mass , with one point at and three at ; hence and . The threshold therefore has endpoint-null rejection probability . Define for . The two weights are nonnegative and sum to one, and the formula is countably additive because each point belongs to at most one event in a disjoint sequence, so each section is a probability measure. Every event evaluation is measurable because the sample space is finite with its full sigma-algebra. Thus [F5] gives a probability kernel and [F2] makes it a randomized test with rejection function .
By step 1.2 the family has MLR in , and step 1.3 calibrates the upper boundary-randomized threshold at to . The Karlin–Rubin result [F1] therefore makes this test UMP of level for versus , with size and level interpreted by [F4].

Dependency tree · two levels
34 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.
