Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Recent approval of HPV vaccines and their widespread provision to young women provide an interesting context to gain experience with the application of statistical methods in current research. We demonstrate how we have used data extracted from a meta-analysis examining the efficacy of HPV vaccines in clinical trials with students in applied statistics courses at both introductory and intermediate university levels. The data are suitable for various techniques in categorical data analysis including comparison of proportions, analysis of contingency tables, logistic regression and log-linear models. These data are relevant to all young people and, because of their health science context, can be used in courses in biostatistics or the health sciences as they allow for further discussion of metaanalyses and randomized controlled trials. We also discuss how we have used these data to promote discussion of statistical issues such as statistical versus practical significance, independence, and a common misconception involving the interpretation of p-values.

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.
