Abstract
Abstract The generalized extreme value (GEV) regression provides a framework for modeling extreme events across various fields by incorporating covariates into the location parameter of GEV distributions. When the covariates are subject to errors-in-variables (EIV) or measurement error, ignoring the EIVs leads to biased estimation and degraded inferences. This problem arises in detection and attribution analyses of changes in climate extremes because the covariates are estimated with uncertainty. It has not been studied even for the case of independent EIVs, let alone the case of dependent EIVs, due to the complex structure of GEV. Here we propose a general Monte Carlo corrected score method and extend it to address temporally correlated EIVs in GEV modeling with application to the detection and attribution analyses for climate extremes. Through extensive simulation studies, the proposed method provides an unbiased estimator and valid inference. In the application to the detection and attribution analyses of temperature extremes in central regions of China, with the proposed method, the combined anthropogenic and natural signal is detected in the change in the annual minimum of daily maximum and the annual minimum of daily minimum.

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
