Abstract
(1995) derived the Fisher information and discussed the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of the parameters of a location-scale family $$ F\left( {\tfrac{{x - \mu }} {\sigma }} \right) $$ based on the ranked set sample (RSS). She found that a RSS provided more information about both μ and σ than a simple random sample (SRS) of the same size. We also focus here on the location-scale family. We use the idea of order statistics from independent and nonidentical random variables (INID) to propose an ordered ranked set sample (ORSS) and develop the Fisher information and the maximum likelihood estimation based on such an ORSS. We use logistic, normal, and one-parameter exponential distributions as examples and conclude that in all these three cases, the ORSS does not provide as much Fisher information as the RSS, and consequently the MLEs based on the ORSS (MLE-ORSS) are not as efficient as the MLEs based on the RSS (MLE-RSS). In addition to the MLEs, we are also interested in best linear unbiased estimators (BLUE). For this purpose, we apply another measure of information, viz., Tukey’s linear sensitivity. Tukey (1965) proposed linear sensitivity to measure information contained in an ordered sample. We use logistic, normal, one- and two-parameter exponential, two-parameter uniform, and right triangular distributions as examples and show that in all these cases except the one-parameter the RSS, and consequently the BLUEs based on the ORSS (BLUE-ORSS) are more efficient than the BLUEs based on the RSS (BLUE-RSS). In the case of one-parameter exponential, the ORSS has only slightly less information than the RSS with the relative efficiency being very close to 1.

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
