Evaluation of the Order of Hierarchical Structures for the Calculation of Method Uncertainty Using Nested and Other Designs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Several methods have been used to calculate method uncertainties using data from a previous publication. The major effort was to study the effect of changing the primary factor of the nested (hierarchical) design from concentration to matrix and then analyst. In the measurement of fluoroquinolones in honey, it was observed that when matrix was the primary factor the uncertainty values were generally slightly larger than when concentration or analyst were the primary factors. However, the differences are small, indicating the robustness of the nested design calculations. Two previously published methods of correcting for uncertainty due to intermediate precision were also examined and showed very little difference, confirming the robustness of the correction. A comparison was also made with previous non-nested designs, which tended to give lower calculated error values.

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.
