Abstract
Lee (2003) develops a n-consistent estimator of the parametric component of a partially linear quantile regression model, which is used to obtain his one-step semiparametric efficient estimator. As a result, how well the efficient estimator performs depends on the quality of the initial n-consistent estimator. In this paper, we aim to improve the small sample performance of the one-step efficient estimator by proposing a new n-consistent initial estimator, which does not require any trimming procedure and is less sensitive to data outliers and the choice of bandwidth than Lee's (2003) initial consistent estimator. Monte Carlo simulation results confirm that the proposed estimator and the one-step efficient estimator derived from it have more desirable empirical features than Lee's estimators.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
