Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This article addresses different facets of maximum likelihood estimation. Starting with the likelihood function, the Cramér‐Rao inequality and properties of maximum likelihood estimators are described. Another estimator, namely, the conditional mean estimator, is discussed. An iterative algorithm, known as the Expectation‐Maximization (EM) algorithm, for computing the maximum likelihood estimate is described.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
