An approximate Bayesian inference on propensity score estimation under unit nonresponse
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nonresponse weighting adjustment using the response propensity score is a popular tool for handling unit nonresponse. Statistical inference after the nonresponse weighting adjustment is an important problem and Taylor linearization method is often used to reflect the effect of estimating the propensity score weights. In this article, we propose an approximate Bayesian approach to handle unit nonresponse with parametric model assumptions on the response probability, but without model assumptions for the outcome variable. The proposed Bayesian method is calibrated to the frequentist inference in that the credible region obtained from the posterior distribution asymptotically matches to the frequentist confidence interval obtained from the Taylor linearization method. The proposed Bayesian method is also extended to incorporate the auxiliary information from full sample. Results from limited simulation studies confirm the validity of the proposed methods. The proposed method is applied to data from a Korean longitudinal survey.

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.
