Abstract
The bootstrap method is increasingly used to estimate the variance of estimates obtained from complex survey designs. This method has been shown to work well for a wide range of estimators, including medians and quantiles, as well as smooth functions based on totals. In addition, the bootstrap can be less computer intensive than the jackknife method for surveys with a very large number of primary sampling units (PSUs). The sampling plan of the Canadian 2001 Participation and Activity Limitations Survey (PALS) is a stratified two-stage design in which PSUs are selected without replacement with probability proportional to size. The survey presents specific challenges to the use of the bootstrap method. For instance, the sampling fraction for PALS is relatively high in many strata, which causes the bootstrap method to overestimate the variance. What is the magnitude of this overestimation? Also, a logistic regression response propensity model is used for the nonresponse adjustment in PALS. Should a logistic regression model be fitted to each bootstrap sample? How does this method compare with maintaining fixed response classes over all bootstrap samples? This paper will address these issues. KEY WORDS: bootstrap, without replacement design, response propensity model, logistic regression.

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
