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.
Measurability of the finite-bootstrap CDF supremum
Statement
Let , let be a measurable -valued random vector, and fix . For each finite index tuple , define the projected centered bootstrap-mean value The finite-index conditional bootstrap CDF is For every fixed continuous cumulative distribution function , the supremum is a measurable real random variable.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A measurable sample vector, finite , fixed , the finite-index bootstrap in the statement, and a fixed continuous CDF .
The bootstrap index set has tuples, each with mass , and the conditional law is their finite uniform average. IID empirical bootstrap sample and mean statistic The set of functions between finite sets is finite, with
Finite coordinate sums and scalar multiples of measurable real-valued maps are measurable; measurable indicators of measurable events and finite lattice maxima are measurable. A measurable function between measurable spaces The Borel sigma-algebra of a topological space An indicator function is measurable exactly when its set is measurable Arithmetic and lattice operations preserve measurability whenever they are defined
The CDF is nondecreasing, and by assumption it is continuous. Cumulative distribution function of a real random variable
A continuous real-valued map is Borel measurable. A continuous map has Borel preimages of Borel sets
Proof
Fix an outcome and let be the distinct values among the finite list . Write . On , is constant at and is nondecreasing, so the absolute difference is bounded by the larger of its two endpoint errors, and . For , the error is at most ; for , it is at most . Each left-limit error is approached as , and each right-value error occurs at . Therefore , where .
For each fixed tuple , is a finite linear combination of measurable coordinates, hence measurable by [F2]. Thus each comparison event or is measurable by applying [F2] to the measurable difference and its Borel half-line. Consequently and are measurable finite sums; is measurable by [F4]. The finite maximum in step 1.1 is measurable by [F2], so is measurable.
