R code and data from: Preserving identity in capture-mark-recapture studies: Increasing the accuracy of minimum number alive (MNA) estimates by incorporating inter-census trapping efficiency variation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Each file is summarized below: Abundance estimation script.R: an R code file with detailed workflow for computing and testing a number of abundance enumeration metrics according to the text laid out in "Preserving identity in capture-mark-recapture studies: Increasing the accuracy of minimum number alive (MNA) estimates by incorporating inter-census trapping efficiency variation". Prepared badger data.RData: R objects prepared from badger data, used in the analysis from the paper. Comprises the following objects: - trueAlive, a matrix with rows for individuals and columns for years. 1s indicate an individual was alive in a given year; 0s indicate it was not. - trueAge, a matrix with the same structure as trueAlive, but where each position indicates the individual's age in that year. - trueTeeth, a matrix with the same structure as trueAlive and trueAge, but where each position indicates the toothwear of the individual on a scale of 1 to 5. - toothAgeMod, a model that contains the relationship between tooth-wear and age. - trueSex, a vector with the sex of each individual corresponding to the row in the life-history and context matrices.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
