Abstract
This article proposes new tests of randomness for innovations in a large class of time series models. These tests are based on functionals of empirical processes constructed from either the model residuals or their associated ranks. The asymptotic behavior of these processes is determined under the null hypothesis of randomness. The limiting distributions are seen to be independent of estimation errors under appropriate regularity conditions. Several test statistics are derived from these processes; the classical Brock, Dechert, and Scheinkman statistic and a rank-based analog are included as special cases. Because the limiting distributions of the rank-based test statistics are margin-free, their finite-sample p values can be easily calculated by simulation. Monte Carlo experiments show that these statistics are quite powerful against several classes of alternatives.

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
