Abstract
Influence diagnostic measures for various statistical models have been developed. Nonetheless, a proper influence measure for handling right-censored prevalent cohort data has yet to have been suggested. We present an influence measure which properly accounts for the length-bias and right censoring encountered in prevalent cohort data. This measure makes use of a likelihood correctly accounting for length-bias and possible information in the marginal covariate distribution. An approximation of this influence diagnostic measure is also developed. We illustrate the relevance of correctly incorporating length-bias and covariate information by analyzing differences in influence when one appropriately acknowledges the nature of prevalent cohort data and when one does not. Results are depicted with data on survival with dementia among the elderly in Canada provided by the Canadian Study on Health and Aging.

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 it
