Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Effect modification and/or Interaction are frequently assessed in epidemiological research. However, in most cases, authors do not present sufficient information for the readers to fully assess the extent and significance of interaction on both additive and multiplicative scale. Also, due to being readily available in most software, the delta method has proliferated in the literature for the estimation of confidence intervals (CIs) for measures of additive interactions; despite its well documented poor performance compared to alternative methods. We introduce interactionR, an open-source R package with user-friendly functions that ensures full reporting of effect modification or interaction based on recommended guidelines. In addition to the simple asymptotic delta method, the package also allows for estimation of CIs for additive interaction measures using the variance recovery and percentile bootstrapping methods.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
