Abstract
A straightforward, general, and simple methodology is given for evaluating and predicting the human error probability (HEP) in transients for accident risk prediction and reduction purposes. The result is validated against all the available data, producing a completely independent assessment of the uncertainty in HEP for safety and risk analysis, and a new validated prediction method. Previous published work established the technical basis for the existence of learning curves for predicting human performance, system outcomes, and accident rates, which was derived and validated against extensive system outcomes and human learning trial data. This latest second-generation minimum error rate equation (MERE)/universal learning curve (ULC) prediction is based on the well-known and proven learning hypothesis. It is therefore applicable to transient and accident analysis, providing the probability of failure or success for individuals as well as for systems. In this paper, new simulator data and three major existing human reliability analysis (HRA) methods used in safety and risk analysis (e.g. technique of human error rate prediction (THERP), human error and assessment technique (HEART), and human cognitive reliability (HCR)) are benchmarked against the new prediction derived directly from the general ULC. Since these existing methods utilize empirical factors, expert judgement and task analysis, the paper demonstrates a totally new objective approach to benchmark human reliability analysis.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
