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 and their full power-set sigma-algebras. Let be uniform on , let and , and forecast , . For an iid sample from this law and discrepancy , the full calibration error is . If the entire forecast simplex is treated as one bin, the empirical binned calibration estimate converges almost surely to zero.

Probability calibration and calibration error: defines the calibration function and expected calibration error.
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.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The two-point feature-label law, forecast, discrepancy, and one-bin partition stated in the example.
The calibration function on a finite forecast support equals the conditional class-probability vector at each forecast value. Probability calibration and calibration error
For a fixed finite data-independent partition, the empirical estimator converges almost surely to the corresponding population binned value. Fixed-bin calibration limits underestimate for jointly convex discrepancies; refining bins can be consistent
The sample averages of the bounded label and forecast coordinates converge almost surely to their means. Kolmogorov iid l1 strong law
is a continuous, jointly convex, nonnegative discrepancy with .
Verification
The forecast values identify the two feature values, so the calibration function is and . Therefore .
In the single bin , the mean forecast first coordinate is , and the mean label-indicator first coordinate is . Hence the population binned discrepancy is . By [F2] the empirical one-bin estimate converges almost surely to zero; equivalently, [F3] gives convergence of both sample averages to .
