Abstract

The question concerns linear probability of illustrative heating load at least 30. The secondary ordinary least squares analysis contains 768 observations and uses HC3 covariance. The coefficient on X5 is 0.1370, with a 95 percent interval from 0.0847 to 0.1893. The cutoff translates a continuous design output into an event whose denominator is the released configurations. Changing this analytical boundary would change the screening task. It is deliberately separate from any comfort or regulatory standard. Good-enough selection can motivate screening, but would need independent simulation evidence to demonstrate that its allocation identifies adequate configurations efficiently. The estimates describe the released collection and its conditioning set. No new data collection, simulator experiment, or deployment-policy evaluation is claimed.
