Abstract
This paper was prepared for invited presentation at the American Agricultural Economics Association meetings, Chicago, August 2001. Partial financial support from National Science Foundation grant SES‐9731037 is gratefully acknowledged as well as Xavier Irz's able translation of the abstract. Recent advances in simulation methods have made possible the systematic application of Bayesian methods to support decision making with econometric models. This paper outlines the key elements of Bayesian investigation, and the simulation methods applied to bring them to bear in application. Les récents développements dans les méthodes de simulation rendent possible l'application systématique de l'approche Bayésienne afin de développer des outils économétriques d'aide à la décision. Cet article présente les éléments essentiels de l'approche Bayésienne ainsi que les méthodes de simulation utilisées lors de son application.

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.
