Combined composite likelihood
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Composite likelihood appears to be an appealing alternative to the full likelihood when the latter is too complex. For a given model, there may be different ways to formulate a composite likelihood, for example, pairwise marginal or conditional likelihood. To guide the choice, we develop a suggestion in Cox & Reid (2004) and we explore a combination of pairwise and independence likelihoods which leads to a new objective function that depends on a constant to be chosen. Exact and asymptotic properties are explored. The former allow to identify a range of admissible values for the constant, while efficiency considerations can be used to choose an optimal value. Two examples are analysed in detail, also through simulation studies. The Canadian Journal of Statistics 42: 525–543; 2014 © 2014 Statistical Society of Canada

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.
