Minimum Quadratic Distance Methods Using Grouped Data for Parametric Families of Copulas
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Minimum quadratic distance (MQD) methods are used to construct chi-square test statistics for simple and composite hypothesis for parametric families of copulas.The methods aim at grouped data which form a contingency table but by defining a rule to group the data using Quasi-Monte Carlo numbers and two marginal empirical quantiles, the methods can be extended to handle complete data.The rule implicitly defines points on the nonnegative quadrant to form quadratic distances and the similarities of the rule with the use of random cells for classical minimum chi-square methods are indicated.The methods are relatively simple to implement and might be useful for applied works in various fields such as actuarial science.

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.
