Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that causes memory loss and a decline in cognitive abilities. AD is the sixth leading cause of death in the USA, affecting an estimated 5 million Americans. To assess the association between multiple genetic variants and multiple measurements of structural changes in the brain, a recent study of AD used a multivariate measure of linear dependence, the RV coefficient. The authors decomposed the RV coefficient into contributions from individual variants and displayed these contributions graphically. METHODS: We investigate the properties of such a "contribution plot" in terms of an underlying linear model, and discuss shrinkage estimation of the components of the plot when the correlation signal may be sparse. RESULTS: The contribution plot is applied to simulated data and to genomic and brain imaging data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). CONCLUSIONS: The contribution plot with shrinkage estimation can reveal truly associated explanatory variables.

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
