The XGTDL family of survival distributions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Non-PH parametric survival modelling is developed within the framework of the multiple logistic function. The family considered comprises three basic models: (a) a PH model, (b) an accelerated life model and (c) a model which is non-proportional hazards and non-accelerated life. The last model, the generalised time-dependent logistic model was described first by the author in 1996 and this model gives its name to the entire family. The family is generalised by means of a Gamma frailty extension which is shown to accommodate crossing hazards data. A further generalisation is the inclusion of a dispersion model. These extensions lead naturally to the concept of a multi-parameter regression model described by Burke and MacKenzie in which the scale and shape parameters are modelled simultaneously as functions of covariates. Where possible, we include the MPR extension in the XGTDL family. Following a simulation study, the new models are used to analyse two sets survival data and the methods are discussed.

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.
