Abstract
Abstract Quantile residual lifetime models are often of concern in survival analysis, especially when studying a chronic or irreversible disease like dementia. In the past several decades residual life models have been studied extensively with right‐censored survival data. However these methods are not suitable to analyze the length‐biased and right‐censored data from the prevalent cohort sampling. In this article we propose nonparametric and semiparametric model‐based procedures to estimate the quantile residual lifetime with censored length‐biased data. Two test statistics are established for comparing the quantile residual lifetimes of two groups, evaluated, respectively, on ratio and difference in terms of type I error probabilities and powers. Some simulations are conducted to compare the proposed method with existing approaches. Real dementia data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center are used to illustrate the proposed estimation methods by estimating the quantile residual lifetimes of the dementia patients.

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
