Abstract
Analytic epidemiology is a transdisciplinary study on the cognitive, theoretical, and mathematical models of COVID-19 and other contagious diseases. It is recognized that analytic epidemiology may be better studied by big data explorations at the macro level rather than merely biological analyses at the micro level in order to not lose the forest for the trees. This paper presents a basic research on analytic epidemiology underpinned by sciences of cognition, computer, big data, information, AI, mathematics, epidemiology, and systems. It introduces a novel Causal Probability Theory (CPT) for explaining the Dynamic Pandemic Transmission Model (DPTM) of analytic epidemiology. It reveals how the fundamental reproductive rate $(R_{0})$ may be rigorously calibrated based on big data of COVID-19. A theoretical framework of analytic epidemiology is developed to elaborating the insights of pandemic mechanisms in general and COVID-19 in particular. Robust and accurate predictions on key attributes of COVID-19, including $R_{0}(t)$, forecasted infectives/resources, and the expected date of pandemic termination, are derived via rigorous experiments on worldwide big data of epidemiology.

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
