Skewed Independent Kill Rate

Abstract

A finite behavior distribution replaces the uniform fixed fraction by weighted fixed-point mass.

Theorem 1.1 (Weighted fixed mass skews the independent kill rate).

Commentary.

The theorem exposes the fixed-point mass as the explicit finite sum sum_{y in Fix f} q(y), so the effective equivalent-mutant mass is q(Fix f), a distributional mass rather than an alphabet cardinality. Its complement is the visible mutation mass escapeMass.

Let C be the coverage event and V the visibility event. The hypotheses say that C and V are independent, that C has the named coverage rate, and that V has the escape mass induced by q and f. The intersection is therefore the coverage rate multiplied by one minus the weighted fixed-point mass.

The proof composes the frozen weighted complement law with the frozen independent event product law. Uniform behavior is not assumed. Multi-site mutations and regression-based estimation are outside this statement.
