Abstract
We consider general models of linear interactions in binary outcomes. We first characterize the conditions under which these models are coherent and complete. Next, we show that models of linear interactions admit sound microfoundations under assumptions of incomplete information and independence. To help guide practitioners, we discuss key modeling choices and testable restrictions. We then consider a specification that is linear in parameters, and propose a simple Two-Stage Least Squares estimator. We revisit the empirical analysis of teenage smoking and peer effects of Lee, Li, and Lin. Our reanalysis highlights the main advantages of the linear framework, including minimal computational and data requirements and ability to handle fixed effects. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
