Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Sketching algorithms use random projections to generate a smaller sketched data set, often for the purposes of modelling. Complete and partial sketch regression estimates can be constructed using information from only the sketched data set or a combination of the full and sketched data sets. Previous work has obtained the distribution of these estimators under repeated sketching, along with the first two moments for both estimators. Using an alternative approach, we derive the distribution of the complete sketch estimator and additionally consider the error term under both repeated sketching and repeated sampling. Importantly, we obtain pivotal quantities which are based solely on the sketched data set—specifically not requiring information from the full data model fit. These pivotal quantities can be used for inference on the full data set regression estimates or the model parameters. For partial sketching, we derive pivotal quantities for a marginal test and an approximate distribution for the partial sketch under repeated sketching or repeated sampling—again avoiding reliance on a full data model fit. We extend these results to include the Hadamard and Clarkson–Woodruff sketches then compare them in a simulation study.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
