Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Under‐coverage has been a long‐standing issue with the empirical likelihood confidence region. Several methods can be used to address this issue, but they all add complexity to the empirical likelihood inference requiring extra computation and/or extra theoretical investigation. The objective of this article is to find a method that does not add complexity. To this end we look for a simple transformation of the empirical likelihood to alleviate the under‐coverage. Using several criteria concerning the accuracy, consistency, and preservation of the geometric appeal of the original empirical likelihood we obtain a transformed version of the empirical likelihood that is extremely simple in theory and computation. Its confidence regions are surprisingly accurate, even in small sample and multidimensional situations. It can be easily used to alleviate the under‐coverage problem of empirical likelihood confidence regions. The Canadian Journal of Statistics 45: 340–352; 2017 © 2017 Statistical Society of Canada

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
