Abstract
= 7,364; ages 11-26). The SMFQ exhibited increasing consistency with age: Scalar longitudinal MI was not supported by all indices in models that included ages 11 and 13, but strict MI was established from ages 14-26. At each wave, at least partial strict MI across sex was established. Sum score models with equal weightings had acceptable fit, and good reliability which was equivalent to reliability using differential weightings. External validity for sum scores was also comparable to factor scores. Thus, sum scores seem an appropriate, practical choice in many settings. Overall, findings support the use of SMFQ in assessing change in depressive symptoms from adolescence into emerging adulthood, specifically ages 14-26. Some caution is necessary when comparing the construct at ages 11-13 with ages greater than 17, when measurement models were not fully invariant. This research informs epidemiological and clinical studies on the applicability of the SMFQ across time and sex. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).

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
