Abstract
Abstract Modelling the quantiles of a random variable is facilitated by their equivariance to monotone transformations. In conditional modelling, transforming the response variable serves to approximate nonlinear relationships by means of flexible and parsimonious models; these usually include standard transformations as special cases. Transforming back to obtain predictions on the original scale or to calculate marginal nonlinear effects becomes a trivial task. This approach is particularly useful when the support of the response variable is bounded. We propose novel transformation models for singly or doubly bounded responses, which improve upon the performance of conditional quantile estimators as compared to other competing transformations, namely the Box–Cox and the Aranda‐Ordaz transformations. The key is to provide flexible transformations with range the whole of the real line. Estimation is carried out by means of a two‐stage estimator, while confidence intervals are obtained by bootstrap. A simulation study and some illustrative data analyses are presented.

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
