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.
A full exponential family is complete
Statement
Assume AC and let be a full-rank exponential family as in Exponential families and full rank, with containing a nonempty open subset of . Then its canonical statistic is complete.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: the carrier, statistic, base measure, an open parameter subset, and a measurable real such that and for every .
The Axiom of Choice: the transform-uniqueness lemma is used under its stated axiom branch.
Exponential families and full rank: the law has density , with finite positive normalizer on .
Complete statistics: to prove completeness it suffices to show the stated mean-zero function vanishes almost surely for every parameter.
Uniqueness of a multivariate exponential transform: a finite signed measure with an exponential moment and zero Laplace transform on a real neighborhood is zero.
A real L^1 density defines a finite signed measure with its canonical Hahn and Jordan data and The total variation |nu|(E) from countable measurable partitions: an integrable real density defines a finite signed measure with variation density , and variation is characterized by countable partition sums.
Every nonnegative measurable function admits an explicit increasing sequence of simple approximations and Monotone convergence for the integral: nonnegative measurable functions have increasing simple approximations whose integrals converge to their integral.
Proof
Choose in the open subset and so the closed cube lies in . Define the finite signed measure by [F4], and set for Borel . Since is measurable, preimages preserve disjoint countable unions, so is a finite signed Borel measure. The preimages of a countable partition form a countable partition, giving by [F4]. Hence .
Choose . Since and by step 1.1, the weighted-integral bound follows first for nonnegative simple functions from that setwise domination and then for by [F5]. For each sign vector, changing from to contributes the factor , so , the exponential moment required by [F3].
For every real with , its Laplace transform is by the mean-zero premise. The transform-uniqueness result [F3], under axiom branch [A1], gives .
For every Borel , by the definition of the pushforward measure and . Taking and shows both positive and negative parts have zero integral, so -almost surely. Every family density is strictly positive on , so all are equivalent to and the same vanishing holds for every . By [F2], is complete.
