Estimation of partly linear additive hazards model with left-truncated and right-censored data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this article, we consider an additive hazards semiparametric model for left-truncated and right-censored data where the risk function has a partly linear structure, we call it the partly linear additive hazards model. The nonlinear components are assumed to be B-splines functions, so the model can be viewed as a semiparametric model with an unknown baseline hazard function and a partly linear parametric risk function, which can model both linear and nonlinear covariate effects, hence is more flexible than a purely linear or nonlinear model. We construct a pseudo-score function to estimate the coefficients of the linear covariates and the B-spline basis functions. The proposed estimators are asymptotically normal under the assumption that the true nonlinear functions are B-spline functions whose knot locations and number of knots are held fixed. On the other hand, when the risk functions are unknown non-parametric functions, the proposed method provides a practical solution to the underlying inference problems. We conduct simulation studies to empirically examine the finite-sample performance of the proposed method and analyze a real dataset for illustration.

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.
