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 hypergeometric moments for a logrank risk set
Statement
Fix a risk set with group-1 subjects, group-0 subjects, and . Conditional on the margins, suppose the failing subjects are a uniform -subset of these subjects, where . Let be the number of failures in group 1. If , then If or , set the contribution to the variance to zero; the expectation remains when , and is zero when .
For the sequential assertion, take a finite sequence on a probability space with a filtration . Before the failures at step are revealed, the current risk-set subjects, their group counts , and the total are -measurable, with . Conditionally on , the failing subjects are a uniform -subset of the current subjects; their identities are revealed in . If , necessarily and the failing subset is empty. Put when and when ; let be the displayed risk-set variance when and zero when . Suppose each real weight is -measurable and Then are square-integrable martingale differences and where the nonempty-risk-set variance contribution is the one in Two-group logrank and weighted logrank scores.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A finite risk set, its two group counts, a total failure count , the uniform-subset allocation model, and, for the sequential assertion, the finite filtration, measurable pre-reveal margins, zero-risk convention, conditional law, predictable weights, and integrability condition stated above.
The uniform probability space on a nonempty finite set: the uniform law on a nonempty finite set assigns each element probability equal to the reciprocal of the set's cardinality.
The indicator random variable of an event: an indicator is one on its event and zero elsewhere.
Expectation is linear for every finite family of random variables, without any independence hypothesis: expectation of a finite sum is the sum of the expectations; independence is not required.
Indicators turn event probabilities, intersections, and finite counts into expectations and products: indicator expectations equal event probabilities, and products of indicators equal indicators of intersections.
Variance, standard deviation, and covariance on a finite probability space: variance and covariance are expectations of the centered square and centered product.
and : variance and covariance may be expanded as and .
Two-group logrank and weighted logrank scores: , and under the conditional hypergeometric model when , with zero contribution for .
Conditional on , which includes the risk-set margins and , each -subset of the risk-set subjects has equal probability.
Proof
If , then , , and both stated moments are zero. Suppose . For each of the group-1 subjects let indicate that subject is in the failing subset. Under [A1], when , ; for , both sides are zero. Since , [F3] and [F4] give .
If , then and the failing subset is deterministic: . Its expectation is and its variance is zero, as stipulated.
Suppose . For distinct group-1 subjects , if the same subset count gives ; for or the probability and the displayed ratio are both zero. Using [F5] and [F6], Thus [F3] and [F5] give Since , this is the stated variance, including , , , and .
In the sequential model, step 1.1 and the convention give , and step 2.1 gives conditional variance . Since is -measurable, has conditional mean zero and conditional second moment . The stated integrability condition makes each square-integrable. If , the filtration property and the revelation convention make -measurable, so . Expanding the finite sum's variance therefore yields both sequential identities.
