Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A wide range of data sources are available to study the epidemiology of mental illness. Community surveys such as Alex Leighton’s Stirling County Study are the gold standard for such data sources, particularly because community surveys cover everyone, not just people seeking treatment. However, as surveys require a lot of resources, other methods are also used, each of which has strengths and weaknesses. For example, medical records contain detailed information, but this can be difficult to extract and the quality may vary. Another source entails administrative data, typically hospital separations, physician billings, ambulatory care visits, and drug databases. While such data require careful analysis with the use of multivariate or propensity score techniques to adjust for potential confounding variables, these data can be invaluable in the study of diseases with multifactorial aetiologies.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
