Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, we first describe the precedence test for testing the hypothesis that two distribution functions are equal. We examine the power properties of this precedence test under a location shift between the two populations using Monte Carlo simulations, and compare them with those of Wilcoxon’s rank sum test. After noting that a ‘masking effect’ affects the performance of the precedence test, we next propose a maximal precedence test. We then examine the power properties of this maximal precedence test under a location shift, and compare them with those of the precedence test and Wilcoxon’s rank-sum test. Finally, we describe some possible extensions of the test procedures described here.

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.
