Abstract
Skew-elliptical distributions constitute a large class of multivariate distributions that account for both skewness and a variety of tail properties. This class has simpler representations in terms of densities rather than cumulative distribution functions, and the tail density approach has previously been developed to study tail properties when multivariate densities have more tractable forms. The special skew-elliptical structure allows for derivations of specific forms for the tail densities for those skew-elliptical copulas that admit probability density functions, under heavy and light tail conditions on density generators. The tail densities of skew-elliptical copulas are explicit and depend only on tail properties of the underlying density generator and conditions on the skewness parameters. In the heavy tail case skewness parameters affect tail densities of the skew-elliptical copulas more profoundly than that in the light tail case, whereas in the latter case the tail densities of skew-elliptical copulas are only proportional to the tail densities of symmetrical elliptical copulas. Various examples, including tail densities of skew-normal and skew-t distributions, are given.

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.
