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 fixed confidence bin hides calibration error

Example

Give X∈{a,b} and Y∈{1,2} their full power-set sigma-algebras. Let X be uniform on {a,b}, let P(Y=1∣X=a)=0.8 and P(Y=1∣X=b)=0.6, and forecast G(a)=(0.6,0.4), G(b)=(0.8,0.2). For an iid sample from this law and discrepancy d(p,q)=∣p1−q1∣, the full calibration error is 0.2. If the entire forecast simplex is treated as one bin, the empirical binned calibration estimate converges almost surely to zero.

Fixed-bin calibration limits underestimate for jointly convex discrepancies; refining bins can be consistent: fixed-bin estimates converge almost surely to their population bin value, which can be strictly below calibration error.

[F4]

d(p,q)=∣p1−q1∣ is a continuous, jointly convex, nonnegative discrepancy with d(p,p)=0.

Verification

1.1givenF1algebra

The forecast values identify the two feature values, so the calibration function is r(0.6,0.4)=(0.8,0.2) and r(0.8,0.2)=(0.6,0.4). Therefore E[d(r(G),G)]=12∣0.8−0.6∣+12∣0.6−0.8∣=0.2.

In the single bin B=Δ2, the mean forecast first coordinate is (0.6+0.8)/2=0.7, and the mean label-indicator first coordinate is (0.8+0.6)/2=0.7. Hence the population binned discrepancy is ∣0.7−0.7∣=0. By [F2] the empirical one-bin estimate converges almost surely to zero; equivalently, [F3] gives convergence of both sample averages to 0.7.
