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.

Normal sample mean and residuals are independent

Example

Assume AC. Let X1,…,Xn be iid N(μ,1), μ∈R, with n≥1. Put Xˉ=n−1∑iXi and R=(Xi−Xˉ)i=1n. Then Xˉ is complete sufficient, R is ancillary, and they are independent for every μ.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: AC, independent observations with laws N(μ,1), n≥1, and μ∈R.

[A1]

The Axiom of Choice: AC is required by the library's normal-law construction.

[F1]

Standard normal and normal laws and Gaussian even moments for Brownian increments: N(μ,1) is the law of μ+Z for Z∼N(0,1); EZ=0 by the symmetric density and EZ2=1.

[F2]

Standard Borel spaces, Statistics and estimators, and Continuous functions on Euclidean spaces are Borel measurable: a statistic is a measurable data map, and continuous Euclidean maps are Borel.

[F4]

Independent random elements have product joint law and Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product: independent coordinates have their product law, and nonnegative product densities integrate by iterated integration.

[F5]

Exponential families and full rank: the density has form hexp⁡(ηT−A(η)), with A the log normalizer.

[F6]
[F7]

A full exponential family is complete: the canonical statistic is complete when the parameter set contains a nonempty open subset and the representation has full rank.

[F8]

Ancillary statistics: ancillarity means a parameter-independent distribution.

[F9]

Basu’s independence theorem: a complete sufficient statistic is independent of every ancillary statistic.

[F10]

A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for nonnegative Lebesgue measurable functions: translation z↦μ+z sends the standard normal density to the N(μ,1) density.

[F11]

The measure with density f relative to μ: a nonnegative Borel density defines a measure relative to its base measure.

[F12]

For sigma-finite factors, the product measure exists, has the rectangle formula, is sigma-finite, and is unique: product measures on sigma-finite spaces exist, have the rectangle formula, and are unique.

[F13]

On Borel subsets of R^{m+n}, the product lambda_m times lambda_n agrees with lambda_{m+n}: under AC, products of Euclidean Lebesgue measures agree with the corresponding Euclidean Lebesgue measure on Borel sets.

[F14]

The Borel product of R^m and R^n is the Borel sigma-algebra of R^{m+n}: product Borel sigma-algebras on Euclidean spaces are the Euclidean Borel sigma-algebras.

The mean map is continuous, hence Borel by [F2] and a statistic. Use n-dimensional Lebesgue measure dx as base measure; it is sigma-finite by [F3]. By [F1] and the translation case of [F10], each coordinate has density ϕ(xi−μ). Independence [F4] gives the product joint law. For n=1 this is already the joint density. For n≥2, repeated use of [F13] identifies λn with the product of the one-dimensional Lebesgue measures. The measure with density q(x)=∏iϕ(xi−μ) relative to λn exists by [F11]. Repeated Tonelli [F4] and the rectangle formula [F12] show that its values on Borel rectangles are the products of the marginal probabilities; [F14] says these rectangles generate the Borel sigma-algebra of Rn, so repeated product-measure uniqueness [F12] identifies it with the joint law. Thus pμ(x)=(2π)−n/2exp⁡(−12∑ixi2+μ∑ixi−n2μ2). Setting T=Xˉ, η=nμ, and h(x)=(2π)−n/2e−∑ixi2/2 writes it as h(x)eηT(x)−A(η) with A(η)=η2/(2n). Completing the square and using Tonelli gives ∫heηTdx=eη2/(2n). The natural parameter set is all R, hence open. For b≠0, the level set bxˉ=c is a proper affine hyperplane, null by [F3], so T has no affine constraint; it is full rank by [F5]. Thus [F6] and [F7] make Xˉ sufficient and complete.

The residual map x↦x−xˉ1 is continuous, hence a statistic by [F2]. Write Xi=μ+Zi with iid Zi∼N(0,1) by [F1]. Then Ri=Zi−Zˉ, so the law of R does not depend on μ; it is ancillary by [F8]. Apply [F9] to conclude Xˉ and R are independent under every Pμ.
