Contaminated normal modeling with application to microarray data analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract A contaminated beta model$(1-\gamma) B(1,1) + \gamma B(\alpha,\beta)$ is often used to describe the distribution of$P$ ‐values arising from a microarray experiment. The authors propose and examine a different approach: namely, using a contaminated normal model$(1-\gamma) N(0,\sigma^2) + \gamma N(\mu,\sigma^2)$ to describe the distribution of$Z$ statistics or suitably transformed$T$ statistics. The authors then address whether a researcher who has$Z$ statistics should analyze them using the contaminated normal model or whether the$Z$ statistics should be converted to$P$ ‐values to be analyzed using the contaminated beta model. The authors also provide a decision‐theoretic perspective on the analysis of$Z$ statistics.The Canadian Journal of Statistics38: 315–332; 2010 © 2010 Statistical Society of Canada

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
