Abstract
Continuous proportional data arise when the response of interest is a percentage between zero and one, e.g., the percentage of decrease in renal function at different follow-up times from the baseline. In this paper, we propose methods to directly model the marginal means of the longitudinal proportional responses using the simplex distribution of Barndorff-Nielsen and Jørgensen that takes into account the fact that such responses are percentages restricted between zero and one and may as well have large dispersion. Parameters in such a marginal model are estimated using an extended version of the generalized estimating equations where the score vector is a nonlinear function of the observed response. The method is illustrated with an ophthalmology study on the use of intraocular gas in retinal repair surgeries.

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
