Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

is a comprehensive R package for simulating and modelling age-at-disease onset in families carrying a rare gene mutation. The package can simulate complex family data for variable time-to-event outcomes under three common family study designs (population, high-risk clinic and multi-stage) with various levels of missing genetic information among family members. Residual familial correlation can be induced through the inclusion of a frailty term or a second gene. Disease-gene carrier probabilities are evaluated assuming Mendelian transmission or empirically from the data. When genetic information on the disease gene is missing, an Expectation-Maximization algorithm is employed to calculate the carrier probabilities. Penetrance model functions with ascertainment correction adapted to the sampling design provide age-specific cumulative disease risks by sex, mutation status, and other covariates for simulated data as well as real data analysis. Robust standard errors and 95% confidence intervals are available for these estimates. Plots of pedigrees and penetrance functions based on the fitted model provide graphical displays to evaluate and summarize the models.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
