Mixture confidence sequences #
This file adds the measure-mixture exponential process used by the method of mixtures. The core analytic primitive is the conditional-expectation swap for a prior integral over tilts.
Prior mixture of the fixed-tilt sub-Gamma exponential processes.

Order from testing set integrals on a sub-sigma-algebra. This is the inequality analogue of the conditional-expectation uniqueness principle.
Conditional expectation commutes with the prior integral, under the product integrability and conditional-side measurability obligations needed for Fubini and the defining set-integral property of conditional expectation.
One mixture supermartingale step from fixed-tilt conditional steps, proved by
testing on F_n-measurable sets. This avoids needing joint measurability of the
chosen conditional-expectation versions in the tilt parameter.
The mixture process is a nonnegative supermartingale once the conditional expectation swap and the resulting integral one-step inequality are available.
Countable-time Ville bound for the mixture exponential process.
Discharging the measurability / integrability package for the uniform prior #
The headline atTop_time_uniform_confidence_sequence_subGamma_mixture carries six
measurability / integrability obligations. For the concrete uniformTiltPrior (a probability
measure supported on the compact interval [lam0, lam1]) they are all discharged from the
increment model alone, with no free hypotheses:
- joint measurability of
(λ, ω) ↦ subGammaExponentialProcess λ n ωin the product σ-algebra; - the pointwise process bound
M ≤ exp (lam1 · n · b)valid on the bounded-increment, admissible-tilt region, which yields product-integrability over[lam0, lam1] × Ω(and its restricted variants) viaIntegrable.of_bound, since the product of two finite measures is finite; - adaptedness of each fixed-tilt process and of the prior integral, from adaptedness of
X.
Joint measurability of the parameterized sub-Gamma exponential process in the product σ-algebra, from measurability of each increment.
Pointwise upper bound M_n ≤ exp (lam1 · n · b) on the fixed-tilt exponential process when the
increments are bounded (|X_i ω| ≤ b for i < n) and the tilt is admissible
(0 ≤ lam ≤ lam1, b · lam < 3). The negative cumulant term only helps, so it is dropped.
For the uniform prior, almost every tilt lies in the closed parameter interval.
Product integrability for subGammaExponentialProcess under (uniformTiltPrior …).prod μ.
The integrand is a.e. bounded by exp (lam1 · n · b) and the product of two probability measures
is finite, so Integrable.of_bound applies.
Product integrability in the Ω × ℝ orientation under ν.prod (uniformTiltPrior …), for any
finite measure ν on Ω carrying a ν-a.e. increment bound. This single statement covers both the
full measure (ν = μ) and the filtration-restricted measure (ν = μ.restrict s) variants the
supermartingale step needs.
Predictable-increment (martingale-difference) adaptedness.
The increment X_k is revealed at time k + 1, i.e. each X_k is ℱ (k+1)-strongly-measurable.
This is the correct admissibility for a martingale-difference sequence whose centering and
conditional variance are taken with respect to the past ℱ k: it lets X_k be a genuine
nonconstant increment while keeping μ[X k | ℱ k] = 0 non-vacuous.
Conditioning the present (StronglyAdapted ℱ X, i.e. each X_k is ℱ k-measurable) together
with μ[X k | ℱ k] = 0 would force X_k =ᵐ 0 by condExp_of_stronglyMeasurable, leaving only the
zero process admissible. The +1 shift is what avoids that collapse. The running sum S_n
remains ℱ n-measurable because it only involves X_0, …, X_{n-1}, each ℱ n-measurable since
i < n ⟹ i + 1 ≤ n.

Each fixed-tilt exponential process is ℱ-adapted once the increment process is
predictable-increment adapted (X_k is ℱ (k+1)-measurable). The running sum S_n is
ℱ n-measurable because it only involves X_0, …, X_{n-1} and i < n ⟹ i + 1 ≤ n.
Joint strong-measurability of the parameterized process in the ℱ n-product σ-algebra, from
adaptedness of the increment process. This is the input to the integral-over-tilt adaptedness.
The prior integral preserves ℱ n-strong-measurability, so the mixture process is adapted
to ℱ whenever the increment process is.
The mixture confidence sequence for the continuous uniform tilt prior, with no free
measurability or integrability hypotheses. The increment model on X is a genuine
martingale-difference sequence: each increment X_k is revealed at time k + 1
(IncrementAdapted ℱ X, i.e. X_k is ℱ (k+1)-strongly-measurable), is bounded |X_k| ≤ b,
is conditionally centered with respect to the past μ[X_k | F_k] = 0, and has conditional
second moment μ[X_k² | F_k] ≤ σ². With an admissible compact tilt interval
[lam0, lam1] ⊆ (0, 3/b), the prior-mixture exponential process is an anytime-valid confidence
sequence:
μ.real {ω | ∃ n > 0, 1/δ ≤ ∫ lam, M_λ(n, ω) ∂Unif[lam0,lam1]} ≤ δ.
The +1 increment shift is essential for non-vacuity: pairing the present-conditioning
StronglyAdapted ℱ X with μ[X_k | F_k] = 0 would force X_k =ᵐ 0 (by
condExp_of_stronglyMeasurable), admitting only the zero process. With the shift the centering is
genuine and the running sum S_n is still ℱ n-measurable (it uses only X_0, …, X_{n-1}).
Every measurability / integrability obligation of
atTop_time_uniform_confidence_sequence_subGamma_mixture is discharged internally for the concrete
uniform prior: joint measurability from hX_meas, the four product-integrability conditions from the
process bound M ≤ exp (lam1 · n · b) via Integrable.of_bound, and both adaptedness conditions
from hX_adapted.
