Abstract
A dose response analysis is robustified by estimating the asymptotic covariance of the fitted model parameters by the approximate information sandwich (a sandwich statistic) under a heterogeneous variance. The robust method is described by using a nonlinear four-parameter regression model. The usual, robust, bootstrap, and jackknife estimates of the asymptotic variance are examined for the bioassay data. Under the response of a normal distribution with changing variances over the dose levels, the performance of the usual and robust variances is investigated by Monte Carlo study. It confirms the robustness of the sandwich estimate and shows the non-accuracy of the usual asymptotic variance estimates of fitted model parameters under the different forms of nonconstant variance structures.

Full frame distilled prediction
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
