Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The burgeoning area of estimating functions is reviewed with emphasis on developments in the past two decades or so. The emphasis is on semiparametric methods. Connections with empirical likelihood ( see Empirical Likelihood ) and the bootstrap ( see Bootstrap: Theory ) are noted, as well as extensions of the theory to stochastic processes. There are numerous application areas where estimating functions have become very influential relatively recently. Econometrics and finance, in particular, have, especially in the past decade or so, discovered the advantages of the estimating function approach. In the statistics arena, applications in biostatistics are particularly important, while survey sampling ( see Survey Sampling ) continues to be a source of methodological problems, which can be tackled via estimating functions.

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.
