Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Keeping in view the work of Swanson and Granger (1997) among others, the performance of PC algorithm and Modified PC algorithm of graph theoretic approach in term of size and power properties are evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation. The study recommends modified PC algorithm as the dominant approach to causality as it successfully expose the correct causal relationship between variables and best to differentiate between correct and spurious causality.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
