Abstract
M-estimation is a widely used technique for robust statistical inference. In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic properties of a nonconcave penalized M-estimator in sparse, high-dimensional, linear regression models. Compared with classic M-estimation, the nonconcave penalized M-estimation method can perform parameter estimation and variable selection simultaneously. The proposed method is resistant to heavy-tailed errors or outliers in the response. We show that, un- der certain appropriate conditions, the nonconcave penalized M-estimator has the so-called Oracle Property; it is able to select variables consistently, and the esti- mators of nonzero coefficients have the same asymptotic distribution as they would if the zero coefficients were known in advance. We obtain consistency and asymp- totic normality of the estimators when the dimension pn of the predictors satisfies the conditions pn log n/n → 0 and p 2/n → 0, respectively, where n is the sample size. Based on the idea of sure independence screening (SIS) and rank correla- tion, a robust rank SIS (RSIS) is introduced to deal with ultra-high dimensional data. Simulation studies were carried out to assess the performance of the proposed method for finite-sample cases, and a dataset was analyzed for illustration.

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
