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.
Weighted logrank score expansion under a common-hazard model
Statement
Assume the Axiom of Choice. Let be deterministic, , and let for subject in group . On a common finite-horizon filtration, each subject has the one-event process and satisfies the separate counting-process contract where is a common deterministic nonnegative hazard density with . Assume each is a square-integrable martingale under this contract, is predictable, and no two subjects have simultaneous event jumps. Write and for the group sums, , and , with on an empty pooled risk set.
Assume the observed-time and allocation hypotheses of Uniform convergence of the risk-set treatment fraction: within each group the observed times are IID, , , and, with and , . Set . Let be a common predictable weight process with and a measurable supremum satisfying for a deterministic bounded predictable weight . Then the weighted logrank score satisfies In particular, fixed deterministic bounded predictable weights are included by taking .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite horizon, two fixed groups, the common-hazard model contract for each subject, no simultaneous event jumps, the uniform risk-fraction limit, and the bounded predictable weight sequence in the Statement.
Assume the Axiom of Choice, inherited from the continuous-time martingale, bracket, and -integral interfaces. (The Axiom of Choice)
Simple counting-process intensity and compensator contract: for a simple counting process, is continuous and has finite expectation, and the model separately assumes is a square-integrable martingale.
L² counting-process integral when the limit exists: a predictable with has an integral defined by limits of bounded predictable step integrals when the limit exists.
Brackets of a compensated simple counting process: under the counting-process contract, is a martingale and .
L² extension of the predictable counting-process integral: every predictable finite-energy integrand has a square-integrable martingale integral with .
Uniform convergence of the risk-set treatment fraction: converges uniformly in probability to on .
Proof
Each is predictable by assumption. Sums of these processes are predictable, and the ratio map for , extended by zero when , is Borel; hence is predictable. At an event time , the Stieltjes increment of is and that of is . Therefore [F6] gives Using , the compensator part equals . Thus, with ,
No simultaneous event jumps make a simple unit-jump counting process. Its compensator is the continuous process , and is a square-integrable martingale by finite summation. Also pathwise. By [F3], is a martingale; [F2]-[F4] apply to the common predictable integrand , whose compensator energy is finite. The isometry gives The last expectation tends to zero because the supremum is bounded by one and converges to zero in probability by [F5]. Replacing by therefore changes by .
For the remaining weight replacement, put . Since is constant within each group, Each group aggregate has a simple counting process, continuous compensator, and square-integrable martingale because there are no simultaneous event jumps within that group. Applying [F2]-[F4] to each aggregate and using yields Boundedness of and makes the squared supremum bounded, so its convergence in probability implies convergence of its expectation. Combining the risk-fraction replacement in step 2.1 with this weight replacement proves the stated expansion. No martingale process central limit theorem is used.
