Extend factorization from simple φ to bounded measurable φ, keeping ψ fixed. Refactored to avoid instance pollution: works with σ(W) directly.
Conditional independence extends to bounded measurable functions (monotone class).
If Y ⊥⊥_W Z for indicators, then by approximation the factorization extends to all bounded measurable functions.
Mathematical content: For bounded measurable f(Y) and g(Z): E[f(Y)·g(Z)|σ(W)] = E[f(Y)|σ(W)]·E[g(Z)|σ(W)]
Proof strategy: Use monotone class theorem:
- Simple functions are dense in bounded measurables
- Conditional expectation is continuous w.r.t. bounded convergence
- Approximate f, g by simple functions fₙ, gₙ
- Pass to limit using dominated convergence
This is the key extension that enables proving measurability properties.
Wrapper: Rectangle factorization implies conditional independence #
Rectangle factorization implies conditional independence.
This is essentially the identity, since CondIndep is defined as rectangle factorization.
This wrapper allows replacing axioms in ViaMartingale.lean with concrete proofs.
