Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper discusses some standard models of the spread of HIV such as the “actuarial” model and the “psychological” model. We introduce an “economic” model which is based on the assumption that people are rational utility-maximizers. The appropriateness of applying an economic model to the spread of a disease is discussed. Available evidence indicates that individuals respond rationally to social and economic stimuli when it comes to taking risks. The article shows how viewing AIDS as a rational disease enriches our understanding of the behavioural underpinnings of the spread of HIV.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
