Mixed‐scale models for survival/sacrifice experiments
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Information derived from interim sacrifices or on cause of death is routinely used in the statistical analyses of carcinogenicity experiments involving occult tumours. The authors describe a simple semiparametric model which does not require this information. Natural deaths during the experiment and the usual terminal sacrifice provide sufficient information to ensure that the tumour incidence rates, which are of primary interest in occult‐tumour studies, can be estimated nonparametrically. The advantages of this semiparametric approach to the analysis of survival/sacrifice experiments are illustrated using data from a study on benzyl acetate conducted under the U. S. National Toxicology Program. The results derived compare favourably with those obtained using a previously published approach to the analysis of tumorigenicity data.

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.
