Primes

• Inspection Paradox
  • In reliability engineering, components inspected during operation are length-biased toward long lives, and in genetics and lineage sampling, picking a present-day descendant and walking back oversamples lineages with many descendants, as the coalescent formalizes.

    This sourceIntroduces the coalescent, formalizing how sampling present-day lineages over-represents ancestries with many descendants.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
