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.
Multivariate trimmed-mean bound under sample replacement
Statement
Let be an absolutely continuous random vector in with mean and finite covariance matrix as defined in Basic finite covariance matrix identities for robust mean bounds. Let be iid clean copies and let their observed replacement sample have at most changed coordinates in total. Assume , , and . Set and let be the repaired, total selector in Adaptive multivariate trimmed mean. Then there is a universal constant such that
The claim is restricted to the displayed domain, which ensures . No guarantee is asserted for , for , or for atomic laws.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The iid clean law, replacement coupling and parameters in the Statement.
Correct-scale slab bound for multivariate trimming gives a nonempty dyadic tail intersection with radius outside probability when the covariance trace is positive.
The multivariate trimmed-mean rate follows from a correct-scale slab event turns a radius into the displayed rate with an explicit universal constant ; it applies at .
Exact recovery by the multivariate trimmed mean at zero covariance gives exact recovery when the covariance trace is zero. Basic finite covariance matrix identities for robust mean bounds gives nonnegative covariance trace.
Adaptive multivariate trimmed mean and Totality and measurability of the repaired multivariate trimmed-mean selector supply the total Borel selector on every admissible observed input.
Proof
Given: The objects and hypotheses in the Statement.
If , [F1] supplies, with probability at least , the nonempty correct-scale tail intersection of radius . On that event [F2] at bounds the output of [F4] by exactly the displayed three-term rate, with universal constant . The selector's measurability in [F4] makes the error event measurable.
If , [F3] gives exact recovery almost surely, so the error bound holds with probability one. These are the only cases by [F3], and the same positive constant works in both. Thus the claimed probability is at least throughout the stated domain.
