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.
Conditional-error budget for two-stage adaptation
Statement
Assume AC. Let be one fixed null probability law on , and let be the interim sigma-algebra. Let be the original design's rejection event, and let be the adapted design's event of any eventual rejection, including early and final decisions. Choose versions For , if and almost surely, then . The original conditional error is an almost-sure class; changing its version does not change any rejection probability.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC; one probability space and one fixed null law ; a sub-sigma-algebra ; events ; ; ; and versions of the stated conditional expectations with almost surely.
AC is assumed for the library's conditional-expectation existence interface. The Axiom of Choice
Under AC, the conditional expectation is the unique almost-sure class of integrable, -measurable versions satisfying all event-integral identities. Conditional expectation as an ae class
Conditional expectation preserves order and ordinary expectation, and a constant is its own conditional expectation. Basic algebra and order properties of conditional expectation
For nested sigma-algebras, conditioning twice gives the conditional expectation at the smaller sigma-algebra. Tower property of conditional expectation
The expectation of an event indicator is the probability of that event. The expectation of an indicator is the probability of the event
Proof
By [A1] and [F1], both conditional-expectation classes exist. Since for , order preservation and the constant rule in [F2] give almost surely. All representatives of either class agree almost surely by [F1], so the rejection probabilities do not depend on the chosen versions.
Let . By [F3], . Each side is constant almost surely because it is -measurable; testing its defining event identity at shows its constant is its ordinary expectation. Thus [F4] gives . The same argument gives . Order preservation [F2], applied to with conditioning sigma-algebra , gives ; these constants are and , so .
Source notes
Both treatments express the global null rejection probability as the mean of the interim conditional rejection probability. The proof here states the event and sigma-algebra hypotheses directly and uses the published conditional-expectation tower and order properties; the source exposition alone is not used as a proof.

Dependency tree · two levels
18 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.
