Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A primary goal of survival analysis is modelling the time from an initial event to a failure event and the factors which affect the hazard rate. In various applications, the observed data can consist of a combination of right-censored failure times and left-truncated right-censored failure times by merging the data collected from incident and prevalent cohort studies with follow-up, respectively. Furthermore, in addition to the observed failure/censoring times, the survival data typically includes time-invariant covariates as well as longitudinal measurements collected throughout the failure/censoring time durations. We introduce three novel estimation methods for a joint proportional hazards and longitudinal model where incident and prevalent cohort data are combined. Using simulated data, we compare the performance of the combined cohort estimation procedures and use these techniques to model the relationship between the mortality of mature female baboons based on their longitudinally measured glucocorticoid hormone levels.

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.
