SEEDNet: Covariate-free multi-country settlement-level epidemiological estimates datasets for network analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The study of population health through network science is promising but suitable population health datasets covering low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are not available. Covariate-based methods used to produce small-area estimates (SAEs) combine national health surveys with covariates from varied sources through various methods limiting their use for producing network representations of populations by injecting unquantifiable uncertainty into estimates of node attributes, affecting the comparability of representations across countries and time. Here, we present SEEDNet (Settlement-level Epidemiological Estimates Datasets for Network Analysis), a multi-country data library of population health indicators across human settlements. Our datasets are produced through a covariate-free method that uses georeferenced national surveys to produce SAEs of health indicators and include complete mapping of population settlements of all sizes. Our open-access library is intended to be used as the basis for network representations of population health in LMICs. Novel aspects include automated estimation process, harmonized data inputs, complete settlement mapping and the adoption of settlements as the functional units for network-based analysis of epidemiological data.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
