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.
Pointwise risk is variance plus squared bias
Statement
Assume AC as used to select the regression target version. Fix a model parameter and point . Let be a real estimator of the finite target with . Define its bias by . Its pointwise squared-error risk from Pointwise squared-error risk for regression satisfies
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The target, estimator, finite second moment, and AC hypothesis in the statement.
Pointwise squared-error risk is . Pointwise squared-error risk for regression.
For square-integrable , . Moments, variance, and covariance on a probability space.
AC is used only through the selected real version of in Regression target and chosen version; the algebra below is choice-free.
Proof
Write . Squaring and taking expectations gives , because .
By [F1] the left side of step 1.1 is the pointwise risk, and by [F2] its first term on the right is the variance. This is the asserted identity.

Dependency tree · two levels
10 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.
