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.
The product response law has the product density
Statement
In the setup of Explicit exponential-family response contracts, let and . Then the joint sampling law has density
relative to . At any for which every factor is positive, the log likelihood is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The finite collection of sigma-finite component spaces, normalized densities, fixed supports, and product sampling law in Explicit exponential-family response contracts.
Explicit exponential-family response contracts: each is a nonnegative measurable probability density relative to , and the joint sampling law is the finite product of the component laws.
The product sigma-algebra and its finite iterates: the finite product sigma algebra is generated recursively by measurable rectangles.
For sigma-finite factors, the product measure exists, has the rectangle formula, is sigma-finite, and is unique: for sigma-finite factors, the product measure is a measure and satisfies .
Arithmetic and lattice operations preserve measurability whenever they are defined: finite pointwise products of measurable real-valued functions are measurable.
Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product: for nonnegative product-measurable functions on sigma-finite product spaces, the integral equals either iterated integral.
The measure with density relative to : if is nonnegative measurable, is the measure .
Measures agreeing on a generating pi-system are equal under an increasing finite-measure exhaustion from that pi-system: measures agreeing on a generating pi-system and on an increasing finite-measure exhaustion from that pi-system are equal.
Proof
For each coordinate projection , the preimage of a measurable set is a measurable rectangle, so is product-measurable by [F2]. Their finite product is product-measurable by [F4].
Construct and by repeated finite products using [F3]. Repeated Tonelli [F5], applied to the nonnegative factors, gives for every measurable rectangle. Taking the rectangle to be the whole product and using normalization from [F1] gives .
By [F6], is a probability measure, and step 2.1 shows that and agree on the rectangle pi-system. That system contains the whole product, which is a one-set increasing finite-measure exhaustion for both probability measures, so [F2] and [F7] give . Whenever every factor is positive, taking the logarithm of the product gives the stated sum.
