Abstract
ABSTRACT In the last couple of decades, data analytics‐based pattern classification methods for disease detection have gained much traction in healthcare research and applications. The current study builds linear programming (LP) models for detecting disease incidence. We propose sequential steps of a convex programming algorithm to construct decision boundary functions to classify patterns in disease detection data. We compare the performance of our LP‐based classifier with others (neural network, decision tree, k ‐nearest‐neighbor, logistic regression, naïve‐Bayes, and support‐vector‐machine) on four datasets: two different ones for breast cancer, and one each for diabetes and diabetic retinopathy. Statistical tests reveal that the LP classifier did significantly better than the other methods in five out of eight false‐positive and false‐negative test cases. There is not a statistically significant difference in performance in the remaining three tests between the LP classifier and the best alternative method. Most importantly, the LP classifier has significantly superior performance in both diabetes detection and diabetic retinopathy data. The success of the proposed LP classifier results from avoiding “modeling noise” and “memorization of training data.” We recommend that our proposed LP classifier be among the set of classifiers for use in disease detection analytics.

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
