Abstract
This paper focuses on the adaptive spline (A-spline) fitting of the semiparametric regression model to time series data with right-censored observations. Typically, there are two main problems that need to be solved in such a case: dealing with censored data and obtaining a proper A-spline estimator for the components of the semiparametric model. The first problem is traditionally solved by the synthetic data approach based on the Kaplan-Meier estimator. In practice, although the synthetic data technique is one of the most widely used solutions for right-censored observations, the transformed data's structure is distorted, especially for heavily censored datasets, due to the nature of the approach. In this paper, we introduced a modified semiparametric estimator based on the A-spline approach to overcome data irregularity with minimum information loss and to resolve the second problem described above. In addition, the semiparametric B-spline estimator was used as a benchmark method to gauge the success of the A-spline estimator. To this end, a detailed Monte Carlo simulation study and a real data sample were carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimator and to make a practical comparison.

Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
