Abstract
Abstract This paper proposes competing procedures to the tests of symmetry for bivariate copulas of Genest, Nešlehová and Quessy (2012). To this end, the null hypothesis of symmetry is expressed in terms of the copula characteristic function that uniquely determines the copula of a given bivariate population with continuous marginal distributions. Then, test statistics based on L2 weighted distances computed from an empirical version of the copula characteristic function are proposed. Their asymptotic behavior is derived under the null hypothesis as well as under general alternatives. In particular, it is established that these rank statistics behave asymptotically as first-order degenerate V-statistics under the null hypothesis and this large-sample representation is exploited in order to provide suitably adapted multiplier bootstrap versions for the computation of p-values. The simulations that are reported show that the new tests are more powerful than the competing methods based on the empirical copula introduced by Genest, Nešlehová and Quessy (2012).

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
