Abstract
Abstract The scaled total least‐squares (STLS) method unifies the ordinary least‐squares (OLS), the total least‐squares (TLS), and the data least‐squares (DLS) methods. In this paper we perform a backward perturbation analysis of the STLS problem. This also unifies the backward perturbation analyses of the OLS, TLS and DLS problems. We derive an expression for an extended minimal backward error of the STLS problem. This is an asymptotically tight lower bound on the true minimal backward error. If the given approximate solution is close enough to the true STLS solution (as is the goal in practice), then the extended minimal backward error is in fact the minimal backward error. Since the extended minimal backward error is expensive to compute directly, we present a lower bound on it as well as an asymptotic estimate for it, both of which can be computed or estimated more efficiently. Our numerical examples suggest that the lower bound gives good order of magnitude approximations, while the asymptotic estimate is an excellent estimate. We show how to use our results to easily obtain the corresponding results for the OLS and DLS problems in the literature. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

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
