Abstract
Both the conditional mean and variance in regressions with high di- mensional predictors are of importance in modeling. In this paper, we investigate estimation of the conditional variance. To attack the curse of dimensionality, we introduce a notion of central variance subspace (CVS) to capture the information contained in the conditional variance. To estimate the CVS, the impact from the conditional mean needs to be fully removed. To this end, a three-step procedure is proposed: Estimating exhaustively the CMS by an outer product gradient (OPG) method; estimating consistently the structural dimension of the CMS by a modi- fied Bayesian information criterion (BIC); and estimating the conditional mean by a kernel smoother. After removing the conditional mean from the response, we sug- gest a squared residuals-based OPG method to identify the CVS. The asymptotic normality of candidate matrices, and hence of corresponding eigenvalues and eigen- vectors, is obtained. Illustrative examples from simulation studies and a dataset are presented to assess the finite sample performance of the theoretical results.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
