Modeling clustered binary data with nonparametric unobserved heterogeneity: An application to stock crash analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Various random effects models have been developed for clustered binary data; however, traditional approaches to these models generally rely heavily on the specification of a continuous random effect distribution such as Gaussian or beta distribution. In this article, we introduce a new model that incorporates nonparametric unobserved random effects on unit interval (0,1) into logistic regression multiplicatively with fixed effects. This new multiplicative model setup facilitates prediction of our nonparametric random effects and corresponding model interpretations. A distinctive feature of our approach is that a closed‐form expression has been derived for the predictor of nonparametric random effects on unit interval (0,1) in terms of known covariates and responses. A quasi‐likelihood approach has been developed in the estimation of our model. Our results are robust against random effects distributions from very discrete binary to continuous beta distributions. We illustrate our method by analyzing recent large stock crash data in China. The performance of our method is also evaluated through simulation studies.

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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
