Performance Evaluation of Generalized Multi-State<tex>$k$</tex>-Out-of-<tex>$n$</tex>Systems
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The generalized multi-state k-out-of-n:G system model defined by Huang provides more flexibilities for modeling of multi-state systems. However, the performance evaluation algorithm they proposed for such systems is not efficient, and it is applicable only when the k/sub i/ values follow a monotonic pattern. In this paper, we defined the concept of generalized multi-state k-out-of-n:F systems. There is an equivalent generalized multi-state k-out-of-n:G system with respect to each generalized multi-state k-out-of-n:F system, and vice versa. The form of minimal cut vector for generalized multi-state k-out-of-n:F systems is presented. An efficient recursive algorithm based on minimal cut vectors is developed to evaluate the state distributions of a generalized multi-state k-out-of-n:F system. Thus, a generalized multi-state k-out-of-n:G system can first be transformed to the equivalent generalized multi-state k-out-of-n:F system, and then be evaluated using the proposed recursive algorithm. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiencies of the proposed recursive algorithms.

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.
