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.
Cause-specific cumulative incidence as an integral against its hazard measure
Statement
For every cause and every , the cumulative incidence decomposes as If has a Lebesgue density and for every , then for Lebesgue-a.e. with , and
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite-cause competing-risk model as in Competing-risk data, cause-specific hazard measures, and cumulative incidence, its event subdistribution , survival function , and cause-specific hazard measure .
Competing-risk data, cause-specific hazard measures, and cumulative incidence: , , and with when and otherwise.
The measure with density relative to : if is nonnegative and measurable, then is the measure defined by .
Integrating against a density agrees with integrating the product: for nonnegative measurable , .
Every monotone real function is Borel measurable: every monotone real function is Borel measurable.
Proof
The set function is a finite measure: it is the restriction of the law of to the measurable cause slice , so disjoint Borel sets have disjoint preimages and probability countable additivity applies.
The function is nonincreasing, hence Borel by [F4]. Thus is Borel and is nonnegative Borel.
The set is an upper interval. If , then . If , then and each event on the right has probability ; hence again . The empty case is immediate.
By [F2], is a measure.
Applying [F3] with gives . The penultimate equality uses step 3.1, so this proves the measure-valued identity, including atoms and .
Suppose and for every . For each integer , the set has at most points, since distinct singleton events are disjoint and their probabilities sum to at most . Every positive atom belongs to some , so is countable and therefore Lebesgue-null. For , the definitions and give ; hence outside . Also , so on . Since , [F1, F3] give , whose density agrees with Lebesgue-a.e. on . Finally, because has a Lebesgue density, so the point contributes nothing to either side of step 4.1; substituting the density on into that identity gives the stated formula, including .

Dependency tree · two levels
16 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.
