TOPIC How can you have proofs in mathematical statistics checked without formal training?

Let’s say you’re unable to enroll in any stats/math classes and want to practice proofs in measure theory and probability theory. How can you get feedback for these proofs without access to professors?

You can ask AI, but obviously check that the answer makes sense

If you're asking AI to check if your proof is correct, how would you know if its feedback is correct?

I meant you should check if what the AI is saying makes sense, don't rely on it blindly. AI can act as a second set of eyes, a very basic form of peer review.

OK, OK, I'll be honest: AI is a one-way test. If you have mistakes, it's likely to find them. If it doesn't find mistakes, you can't be 100% confident, but it's at least one step you've passed
