Write $q=1-p$, $\mu =q-p$, $\sigma =2\sqrt{pq}$, and ${\varphi }_S(x)={\prod }_{j\in S}(x_j-\mu )/\sigma$. The functions ${\varphi }_S$ form the p-biased product measure orthonormal basis, so the Fourier expansion is $f={\sum }_S{\hat{f}}_p(S){\varphi }_S$. The normalized discrete derivative of a Boolean function satisfiesApplying Parseval identity and then exchanging two finite sums gives

The noise operator on the Boolean hypercube acts diagonally on the same basis: $T_{\rho }{\varphi }_S={\rho }^{|S|}{\varphi }_S$. Hence the noise stability isIts derivative isTaking the right-hand value at $\rho =0$ leaves exactly the linear Fourier weight ${\sum }_i{\hat{f}}_p(\{i\}{)}^2$, while taking the left-hand value at $\rho =1$ gives $\mathbf{I}(f)$.
