Abstract
We study the estimation of certain functionals of the conditional distribution function with two classes of nonparametric estimators—the rank nearest neighbour (RNN) type estimators and the Nadaraya-Watson (NW) kernel type estimators. We obtain sharp pointwise rates of strong consistency by establishing laws of the iterated logarithm for these two classes of estimators. The results parallel those of Hall [Hall, P., 1981, Laws of the iterated logarithm for nonparametric density estimators. Zeitschrift Fur Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie Und Verwandte Gebiete, 56, 47–61] and Härdle [Härdle, W., 1984, A law of the iterated logarithm for nonparametric regression function estimators. The Annals of Statistics, 12, 624–635] for certain density and regression function estimators respectively, and extend those of Mehra et al. [Mehra, K.L., Rama Krishnaiah, Y.S. and Rao, S.M., 1992a, Asymptotic properties of smoothed vs. unsmoothed conditional distribution function estimators, Bulletin of Informatics and Cybernetics, 25, 71–97] on the strong consistency of smooth conditional distribution function estimators.

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
