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.
Discrete median bootstrap with ties
Example
Use the lower empirical median, defined as the second order statistic for a sample of size three, and consider observed data . Enumerating all bootstrap index tuples gives the exact conditional bootstrap law and demonstrates how the declared lower-quantile convention handles ties. The percentile and basic procedures below are endpoint algorithms, not coverage assertions.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The observed sample , its empirical masses and , the finite-index empirical bootstrap, and the interval algorithms.
Conditional bootstrap coordinates are IID from the empirical law. Finite-index bootstrap draws are conditionally IID from the empirical law
The lower empirical quantile returns the order statistic with index . Lower empirical quantile of bootstrap values
The percentile interval returns the two empirical bootstrap quantiles at and . Percentile bootstrap interval
The basic interval reflects those two bootstrap quantiles about the observed estimate. Basic bootstrap interval
Verification
By [F1], the number of ones in a size-three bootstrap sample has the binomial law with parameters and . The lower median is exactly when , so The other of the equally likely index tuples give median .
List the conditional median values with multiplicity: twenty zeros and seven ones. With , [F2] gives and . Thus [F3] returns , while [F4] with observed median returns . These are the outputs under the specified tie and quantile conventions.

Dependency tree · two levels
18 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.
