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.
Sufficiency makes the conditional rejection probability nuisance-free
Statement
Let and be standard Borel spaces as in Standard Borel spaces. Fix Polish topologies realizing these specified Borel sigma-algebras, as the standard-Borel definition permits. Let be nonempty disjoint parameter subsets, and write for the null subfamily. Let be measurable. Suppose there is one probability kernel such that, for every , is a regular conditional distribution of the full data given under . This is the common-kernel premise of sufficiency for the null subfamily in Sufficient statistics. For any measurable , define Then is measurable and is a version of the conditional rejection probability of given under every . The same function works for every nuisance value, with conditional-expectation identities interpreted almost surely under each corresponding law.

Given: The spaces, null family, statistic, common probability kernel and bounded test function in the Statement.
For every , the same kernel satisfies the conditional event-integral identities for given under , which is the common-kernel sufficiency condition in Sufficient statistics.

A conditional test's rejection probability given is a conditional-expectation version of . Conditional tests given a statistic
The product sigma-algebra is generated by rectangles, so the second-coordinate projection is measurable; composing it with measurable makes product-measurable. The product sigma-algebra and its finite iterates, Composition with a Borel measurable outer map preserves measurability
Proof
The map is product-measurable by [F5]. Kernel integration [F2] therefore makes measurable. Since is a probability measure and , every value satisfies .
Fix . By [A1] and [F1], is a regular conditional distribution of given under . Applying [F3] to the bounded function shows that for every , . Thus is a version of the conditional rejection probability under this null law. The same kernel in [A1] defines the same for every , proving nuisance-freeness; only the individual laws' almost-sure qualifications are used.
