Abstract
Detection of the number of source signals (NoSS) in the presence of additive noise is considered. We present a new approach denoted by the mean squared eigenvalue error (MSEE). The MSEE is the mean squared error between the desired noise-free eigenvalues and the available estimated eigenvalues. The approach investigates and analyzes the probabilistic distribution of the available eigenvalue estimates and revisits proper thresholding of these sorted values. The optimum NoSS is provided by minimizing the MSEE. A probabilistic worst-case technique is proposed to estimate the value of the MSEE by using only the available data. It is shown that the proposed method is consistent as the data length increases. It is also shown that the method is consistent as the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) increases. Simulation results illustrate advantages of the MSEE over competing approaches and confirm effectiveness and robustness of the MSEE even in low-SNR or small sample size scenarios.

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
