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.

Threshold rates can vary despite balanced mean scores

Example

Let group 1 have two feature types σ1,σ2, each of proportion 1/2, with outcome probabilities pσ1=1/5 and pσ2=4/5. Let group 2 have three feature types τ1,τ2,τ3 with proportions 9/32,14/32,9/32 and outcome probabilities pτ1=1/10, pτ2=1/2, and pτ3=9/10. Each feature type is assigned deterministically to its own bin, whose score equals that type's outcome probability; this is one common feature-based assignment for both groups, with N1=N2=1. Both groups have base rate 1/2, and the assignment is calibrated in each group with positive- and negative-outcome mean scores 17/25 and 8/25, respectively. At threshold u=1/2, the group 1 true-positive and false-positive rates are 4/5 and 1/5, while the group 2 rates are 151/160 and 79/160. At threshold u=9/10, group 1's two rates are 0,0 and group 2's are 81/160,9/160. Thus the threshold rates change with the threshold even though both class-conditioned mean-score criteria hold.

KMR's finite group-conditioned risk-score assignment and calibration: groupwise calibration is the identity between positive mass in a bin and its score times the bin's assigned mass; scores lie in [0,1].

[F2]

Balance for positive and negative outcomes: αt and βt are the class-conditioned mean scores, and equality across groups separately defines the two balance criteria.

Class-conditional mean risk scores are areas under threshold rates: the mean scores αt and βt are the integrals of TPR⁡t and FPR⁡t over thresholds.

Verification

1.1givenF1algebra

In both groups the weighted score mean is Et[S]=1/2. For group 1, E1[S2]=12((1/5)2+(4/5)2)=17/50. For group 2, E2[S2]=932(1/10)2+1432(1/2)2+932(9/10)2=17/50. Each bin contains one feature type and its score equals that type's pσ, so its positive mass is its score times its assigned mass; hence calibration holds. The common positive mass/base rate is 1/2.

By calibration, Et[S1{Y=1}]=Et[S2]=17/50 and Et[S1{Y=0}]=Et[S]−Et[S2]=8/50. Dividing by the positive and negative masses 1/2 gives αt=17/25 and βt=8/25 for both groups, so both balances hold. By [F3], the two groups' TPR areas agree and their FPR areas agree.

At u=1/2, group 1 has positive mass (1/2)(4/5)=2/5 and negative mass (1/2)(1/5)=1/10 at scores at least 1/2, so its rates are (2/5)/(1/2)=4/5 and (1/10)/(1/2)=1/5. Group 2 has positive mass (14/32)(1/2)+(9/32)(9/10)=151/320 and negative mass (14/32)(1/2)+(9/32)(1/10)=79/320 at scores at least 1/2, so its rates are 151/160 and 79/160.

At u=9/10, group 1 has no score at least 9/10, so both rates are zero. Group 2's only qualifying score is 9/10, contributing positive mass (9/32)(9/10)=81/320 and negative mass (9/32)(1/10)=9/320; dividing each by 1/2 gives rates 81/160 and 9/160. These computations show threshold dependence despite the mean balances.
