Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Procedures are developed and compared for testing the equality of two dependent kappa statistics in the case of two raters and a dichotomous outcome variable. Such problems may arise when each of a sample of subjects are rated under two distinct settings, and it is of interest to compare the observed levels of inter-observer and intra-observer agreement. The procedures compared are extensions of previously developed procedures for comparing kappa statistics computed from independent samples. The results of a Monte Carlo simulation show that adjusting for the dependency between samples tends to be worthwhile only if the between-setting correlation is comparable in magnitude to the within-setting correlations. In this case, a goodness-of-fit procedure that takes into account the dependency between samples is recommended.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
