Abstract
New approaches for quantification of human blood plasma lipids and apolipoproteins are presented. One method is based on multivariate analysis of proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of human blood plasma. Although similar approaches have been developed previously, this is the first time principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares regression (PLS) have been applied to this particular task. Further, a large proportion of the subjects in this study were cancer patients undergoing treatment, which introduced a new dimension to the quantification of lipoprotein distributions. Calibration models for prediction of lipids and apolipoproteins were constructed by use of PLS, and blind samples were used to test the predictive ability. Comparison of the predicted vs observed data obtained by standard clinical chemical procedures gave good agreement; the correlation coefficient for total plasma triglyceride was 0.99, for total plasma cholesterol 0.98, for LDL cholesterol 0.97, and for HDL cholesterol 0.88. These results are comparable with those obtained with other methods. The quantitative analysis of 14 components (including total cholesterol and total triglyceride) of human blood plasma was also undertaken using various neural network (NN) analyses of selected portions of the spectra. Conventional fully connected backpropagation neural network topologies were capable of providing excellent predictions for the majority of the variables, confirming and reinforcing literature related to this approach. However HDL triglycerides were poorly predicted, while intermediate-quality results were obtained for the LDL cholesterol, plasma apoA1 and LDL apoB variables. In these instances, applying significantly different neural network algorithms involving either general regression or polynomial neural networks in combination with genetic adaptive components for parameter optimisation made improved predictions.

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
