no affNo Canadian affiliation: this work is invisible to an affiliation-only frame.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame, the usual design, would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Fitting regression models where, in addition to possible linear terms, one or more covariates have segmented (i.e., broken-line or piece-wise linear) or stepmented (i.e. piece-wise constant) effects. Multiple breakpoints for the same variable are allowed. The estimation method is discussed in Muggeo (2003, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1002%2Fsim.1545" target="_top">doi:10.1002/sim.1545</a>&gt;) and illustrated in Muggeo (2008, &lt;<a href="https://www.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2008-1.pdf" target="_top">https://www.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2008-1.pdf</a>&gt;). An approach for hypothesis testing is presented in Muggeo (2016, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1080%2F00949655.2016.1149855" target="_top">doi:10.1080/00949655.2016.1149855</a>&gt;), and interval estimation for the breakpoint is discussed in Muggeo (2017, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1111%2Fanzs.12200" target="_top">doi:10.1111/anzs.12200</a>&gt;). Segmented mixed models, i.e. random effects in the change point, are discussed in Muggeo (2014, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1177%2F1471082X13504721" target="_top">doi:10.1177/1471082X13504721</a>&gt;). Estimation of piecewise-constant relationships and changepoints (mean-shift models) is discussed in Fasola et al. (2018, &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs00180-017-0740-4" target="_top">doi:10.1007/s00180-017-0740-4</a>&gt;).

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.
