Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article defines an approximate confidence interval for effect size in correlated (repeated measures) groups designs. The authors found that their method was much more accurate than the interval presented and acknowledged to be approximate by Bird. That is, the coverage probability over all the conditions investigated was very close to the theoretical .95 value. By contrast, Bird’s interval could have coverage probability that was substantially below .95. In addition, the authors’interval was less likely than Bird’s method to present an overly optimistic portrayal of the effect. They also examined the operating characteristics of the Bird interval for effect size in an independent groups design and found that, although it is fairly accurate in its approximation of coverage probability, the accuracy of the approximation does vary with the magnitude of the population effect size.

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.
