Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Summary Research in the familial aggregation of diseases and traits utilise information on probands, and their relevant health information enriched with similar information for their family members of interest. The genealogy is typically generated from trio information in registers and biobanks. However it can be tedious and error prone to identify family members other than first-degree relatives. Here, we present a graph-based approach to effectively identify family members of arbitrary degree of relatedness, as well as the means to attach any desired information to each individual for downstream analysis and a function to efficiently calculate a kinship matrix for the identified family members and convert identified family members from a graph back into trio information. Availability and Implementation The R package where these new functionalities are implemented is available on GitHub ( https://github.com/EmilMiP/LTFHPlus ) and on CRAN ( https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/LTFHPlus/index.html ).

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
