Abstract
Abstract When either data or the models for them involve functions, and when only weak assumptions about these functions such as smoothness are permitted, familiar statistical methods must be modified and new approaches developed in order to take advantage of this smoothness. The first part of the article considers some general issues such as characteristics of functional data, uses of derivatives in functional modelling, estimation of phase variation by the alignment or registration of curve features, the nature of error, and so forth. The second section describes functional versions of traditional methods such principal components analysis and linear modelling, and also mentions purely functional approaches that involve working with and estimating differential equations in the functional data analysis process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
