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.
Every measurable rejection function defines a randomized test
Statement
Let be a statistical experiment (Statistical experiments) and let be measurable, where has its Borel sigma-algebra. On the binary action space with its full sigma-algebra, define Then is a probability kernel and hence a randomized procedure; its randomized-test function under the convention is .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A statistical experiment and a measurable function on its data space.
Statistical experiments: an experiment supplies a data measurable space and its parameter-indexed probability laws.
A measurable function between measurable spaces: measurability means the preimage of every Borel subset of belongs to .
Closure properties of measurable functions used by the integral: sums and real scalar multiples of measurable real functions are measurable.
Measure kernel and probability kernel: a probability kernel has probability-measure sections and measurable event evaluations.
Sigma-algebras: the full collection of subsets of is a sigma-algebra.
Randomized procedures as probability kernels: for the supplied experiment, a probability kernel from the data space to the action space is a randomized procedure.
Randomized tests: a binary randomized procedure has test function .
Proof
Fix . The two weights and are nonnegative and sum to one. Thus and . If are pairwise disjoint subsets of , each action belongs to at most one , so for . Substitution into the formula for gives ; hence is a probability measure on the binary action sigma-algebra.
For the four action events, the evaluation functions are , , , and . They are measurable by [F1] and [F2]. Therefore [F3] makes a probability kernel; [F5] makes it a randomized procedure, and [F6] identifies its test function as .

17 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
