Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A local linear estimator is proposed for extrapolating beyond the range of independent regression data. The asymptotic bias and variance of the local linear extrapolant are presented and used to calculate the asymptotic mean squared error. Three procedures are considered for choice of the bandwidth: a plug-in procedure, a forward cross-validation procedure and a procedure that combines the two. All of these are, in some sense, based on minimizing the asymptotic mean squared error. A simulation study shows that the forward cross-validation procedure outperforms the other two procedures both in terms of choosing a bandwidth and in terms of accurate extrapolation. The techniques are applied to two data sets.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
