Full-scale reproduction: all 6 claims VERIFIED (claims 1,2,3,5,6 upgraded from toy baseline; claim 4 exact audit preserved). Adds per-claim pages, real 2016 election data analysis, simulation RMSE+coverage, Delta-method asymptotic validity, von Neumann minimax LP. Historical toy baseline preserved at pages/historical-toy-baseline.
08e9f95 | """Claim 5 verifier (GJblFvJcMb, arXiv 2504.19043). | |
| Exact claim (Section 3.2 average case; Section 3.4 adversarial case): | |
| "Simulation studies show RMSE convergence with sample size across 5-20 factors | |
| (variance dominating bias) and confidence interval coverage approaching the | |
| nominal 95% level for n >= 5000 in the adversarial setting." | |
| Addresses the prior toy verdict directly: only 3 attributes were used (not 5-20), | |
| sample sizes were n=[20,80,320] (not up to 10000+), and CI coverage was never | |
| assessed. This verifier runs the paper's actual simulation grid. | |
| Machine-checkable contract: | |
| AVERAGE CASE (Section 3.2): | |
| C5a RMSE CONVERGENCE: per-component RMSE of pi_hat* DECREASES with n across | |
| K in {5,10,20} at n in {500,1500,3500,10000}. | |
| C5b VARIANCE DOMINATES BIAS: at the largest n, median variance > median | |
| bias^2 across pi* components (variance is the dominant RMSE driver). | |
| C5c AVERAGE-CASE COVERAGE: 95% Delta-method CI coverage of pi* components is | |
| near nominal (within tolerance) at the largest n for each K. | |
| ADVERSARIAL CASE (Section 3.4): | |
| C5d ADVERSARIAL COVERAGE: in a two-party zero-sum game (single gender factor, | |
| per the paper's tractability choice), 95% CI coverage of the equilibrium | |
| strategy pi_A approaches nominal for n >= 5000 and is BELOW nominal at | |
| n = 1000 (the paper's reported pattern). | |
| The outcome model, coefficient draws (N(0,1)), interaction scaling to main- | |
| effects R^2 ~ 0.70, noise N(0, 0.1), and the closed-form true pi* (Proposition 1) | |
| all follow the paper's Section 3.1 simulation design. | |
