Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Systematic sampling is a sampling technique that is used for its simplicity and convenience. At its simplest, a systematic sample is obtained by selecting a random start near the beginning of the population list and then taking every unit equally spaced thereafter. The technique can be generalized to include systematic sampling schemes with probability proportional to an auxiliary variable. In many situations, systematic sampling is statistically efficient when compared to other sampling schemes. This is especially true in populations with linear and quadratic trends and autocorrelated populations. For populations in random order systematic sampling, it is equivalent to simple random sampling. A major drawback to systematic sampling is that it does not admit an unbiased estimator of variance with respect to the sampling design. Variance estimation must rely on an assumed underlying structure in the population.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
