Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Quasi‐likelihood (QL) is a method of estimation for regression analysis that requires the specification of only the first two moments of the response distribution, and the term also refers to the objective function analogous to the likelihood. In generalized linear models (GLMs), the iterative weighted least‐squares algorithm for solving the score equations depends only on the mean and variance of the response. The solution of the estimating equations is consistent even when the variance expression is incorrect. Various extensions are described.

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.
