Abstract
Mixture cure frailty model has been proposed to analyze censored survival data with a cured fraction and unobservable information among the uncured patients. Different from a usual mixture cure model, the frailty model is employed to model the latency component in the mixture cure frailty model. In this paper, we extend the mixture cure frailty model by incorporating covariates into both the cure rate and the latency distribution parts of the model and propose a semiparametric estimation method for the model. The Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm and the multiple imputation method are employed to estimate parameters of interest. In the simulation study, we show that both estimation methods work well. To illustrate, we apply the model and the proposed methods to a data set of failure times from bone marrow transplant patients.

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
