Abstract
A new locally sparse (i.e., zero on some subregions) estimator for coefficient functions in functional linear regression models is developed based on a novel functional regularization technique called “fSCAD.” The nice shrinkage property of fSCAD allows the proposed estimator to locate null subregions of coefficient functions without over shrinking nonzero values of coefficient functions. Additionally, a roughness penalty is incorporated to control the roughness of the locally sparse estimator. Our method is theoretically sounder and computationally simpler than existing methods. Asymptotic analysis reveals that the proposed estimator is consistent and can identify null subregions with probability tending to one. Extensive simulations confirm the theoretical analysis and show excellent numerical performance of the proposed method. Practical merit of locally sparse modeling is demonstrated by two real applications. Supplemental materials for the article are available online.

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
