Abstract
In multidimensional observations, many classification algorithms (supervised or unsupervised) require the selection of optimum bands in which the classes are most distinct. The Jeffries–Matusita (JM) distance is widely used as a separability criterion for optimal band selection and evaluation of classification results. Its original form is based on the assumption of normal distribution of the data. However, in the case of the covariance/coherency matrix of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) polarimetry, the data follow the complex Wishart distribution. In this article, we calculate the JM separability criterion for the case of the complex Wishart distribution. The updated formulation is used for: (1) the estimation of the separability between classes in fully polarimetric SAR data and to evaluate two standard polarimetric SAR classification algorithms, the Wishart and the expectation maximization algorithms, and (2) the classification of fully polarimetric SAR images based on the derived JM separability for t...

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
