Abstract
INTRODUCTION: In many practical situations, we are interested in the effect of covariates on correlated multiple responses. In this paper, we focus on estimation and variable selection in multi-response multiple regression models. Correlation among the response variables must be modeled for valid inference. METHOD: We used an extension of the generalized estimating equation (GEE) methodology to simultaneously analyze binary, count, and continuous outcomes with nonlinear functions. Variable selection plays an important role in modeling correlated responses because of the large number of model parameters that must be estimated. We propose a penalized-likelihood approach based on the extended GEEs for simultaneous parameter estimation and variable selection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: We conducted a series of Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the performance of our method, considering different sample sizes and numbers of response variables. The results showed that our method works well compared to treating the responses as uncorrelated. We recommend using an unstructured correlation model with the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) to select the tuning parameters. We demonstrated our method using data from a concrete slump test.

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
