A critical question concerning generative networks applied to event generationin particle physics is if the generated events add statistical precision beyond thetraining sample. We show for a simple example with increasing dimensionalityhow generative networks indeed amplify the training statistics. We quantify theirimpact through an amplification factor or equivalent numbers of sampled events.
