Centered Empirical Process
This file defines the vector-valued centered empirical process at the
scale for a single function of an i.i.d. sample. The construction is
the empirical-process gap controlled by the stochastic-equicontinuity modules
and used in parametric estimator expansions. The definition
IIDSample.empProcVec provides the reusable vector process, and
IIDSample.empProcVec_eq_stochEquicont_gap identifies it with the gap appearing
in StochEquicontAt.
Vector-valued centered empirical process.
Definition (Lean source)
For an i.i.d. sample S, a score function ψ, candidate and true parameter values θ and θ₀, sample size n, and outcome ω, the centered empirical-process gap R_n of StochEquicontAt, evaluated at θ, equals empProcVec of the score difference ψ(θ,·) − ψ(θ₀,·).

Asymptotic Equicontinuity Modulus
This file separates class-level asymptotic equicontinuity of an empirical
process from consistency of a random estimator. It defines
AsymptoticEquicont, proves empProcVec_atEstimator_tendsto_zero, packages the
reduction stochEquicontAt_of_asymptoticEquicont, and supplies the deterministic
curve witness empProcVec_isLittleOp_of_L2 from second-moment control. The
continuum chaining/bracketing theorem is deliberately left as an external
hypothesis.
Class-level asymptotic equicontinuity of the score family ψ at θ₀.
Empirical process at the estimator vanishes. If the score family ψ is asymptotically equicontinuous at θ₀ along the i.i.d. sample S and θn is a sequence of estimators consistent for θ₀, then for any fixed tolerance ε > 0, the centered empirical process of the score gap ψ(θn,·) − ψ(θ₀,·), evaluated at the random estimator θn, namely Gₙ(ψ(θn,·) − ψ(θ₀,·)), converges to 0 in probability — unconditionally, with no restriction to a shrinking neighborhood of θ₀.
Formal statement
Proof (Lean source)
Reduction: StochEquicontAt from class-level equicontinuity + consistency. If the score family ψ is asymptotically equicontinuous at θ₀ along the i.i.d. sample S and θn is a sequence of estimators consistent for θ₀, then the pair (ψ, θ₀) satisfies the stochastic-equicontinuity-at-the-estimator condition StochEquicontAt along S and θn.
Formal statement
Proof (Lean source)
Deterministic-curve equicontinuity (non-vacuousness witness). Suppose that for every parameter value θ, the score gap ψ(θ,·) − ψ(θ₀,·) is measurable and square-integrable under P. Along a deterministic parameter sequence θn whose score perturbation shrinks in L²(P): , the centered empirical-process gap Gₙ(ψ(θn,·) − ψ(θ₀,·)) is , with no chaining and no consistency hypothesis: it is a direct consequence of the uniform-in-n Chebyshev bound empProcVec_chebyshev.

Empirical-Process Second Moments
This file bounds the second moment of the vector-valued centered empirical
process by the population second moment of the indexed function. The lemma
IIDSample.measurable_empProcVec records measurability of the process,
empProcVec_sq_lintegral_le proves the uniform-in-sample-size second-moment
bound, and empProcVec_chebyshev converts it into the tail estimate used by
stochastic-equicontinuity and empirical-process remainder bounds.
Second-moment bound for the vector empirical process (variance identity at the empirical scale). For an i.i.d. sample S and a function f that is measurable and square-integrable under P, the second moment of the centered empirical process Gₙ(f) at sample size n is bounded by the population second moment of f:
Proof (Lean source)
Chebyshev bound for the vector empirical process. For an i.i.d. sample S and a function f that is measurable and square-integrable under P, and for any tolerance ε > 0, the probability that the centered empirical process Gₙ(f) exceeds ε in norm at sample size n is at most :
