Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article considers linear quantile regression and variable selection for high‐dimensional data. In general, an ordinary quantile regression estimator is obtained for a single, fixed quantile level. Therefore, the estimated coefficient does not have continuity with respect to the quantile level, and hence, the behaviour of the estimator and estimated active variable set could change rapidly for different but sufficiently close quantile levels. To obtain a stable estimator for a given quantile level, this study proposes a new quantile regression method to estimate the coefficient as a function of the quantile level of interest in a given region , which is denoted quantile function regression. In quantile function regression, we approximate the coefficient function of the quantile level using aB‐spline model, and hence, the estimated conditional quantile is continuous as it is aB‐spline curve. To employ variable selection, a group lasso‐type sparse penalty is used to estimate a non‐zero coefficient function of the quantile level, which indicates the estimated active set that remains unchanged in . Therefore, quantile function regression can achieve global variable selection. The proposed estimator exhibits an asymptotic rate of convergence and consistency in variable selection. Simulation studies and applications to real data further reveal that the proposed method yields good performance.

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.
