Fits an experimental meta-scorer that selects or combines registered single-sample methods using grouped cross-fitted predictions from the supplied training data only. The fitted object scores each new specimen from frozen base models; it never uses a co-resident test batch or test outcomes.

Three prespecified routes are available:

`best_auc`

Select the method with the largest mean grouped inner-fold AUC.

`lower_auc_ci`

Select the method with the largest lower 95 percent stratified group-bootstrap limit for pooled cross-fitted AUC.

`simplex_stack`

Fit a non-negative logistic stack whose weights sum to one, using cross-fitted group-level scores and a fixed numerical stabilizer. No stack hyperparameter is tuned.

This API establishes a leakage-resistant fitting contract; it is not a claim that selection or stacking improves discrimination. Such a claim requires a separate outer validation.

Usage

fit_singlesample_selector(
  X_train,
  y_train,
  methods = NULL,
  route = c("best_auc", "lower_auc_ci", "simplex_stack", "all"),
  group_id = NULL,
  meta_train = NULL,
  annotation = NULL,
  inner_folds = 5L,
  seed = 1L,
  bootstrap_reps = 1000L,
  verify_base = TRUE,
  stack_stabilizer = 1e-06
)

# S3 method for class 'singlesample_selector_set'
print(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'singlesample_selector_ineligible'
print(x, ...)

Arguments

X_train

Numeric matrix or data frame (specimens x features).

y_train

Binary training outcome.

methods

Character method identifiers. `NULL` uses [singlesample_selector_candidates()].

route

One of `"best_auc"`, `"lower_auc_ci"`, `"simplex_stack"`, or `"all"`. The `"all"` route reuses one cross-fitting pass and returns a `singlesample_selector_set` containing all three prespecified routes.

group_id

Biological/provenance group per row. Rows in one group are never split across inner folds. Defaults to one group per row.

meta_train

Optional training metadata, one row per specimen.

annotation

Optional feature annotation passed to compatible base methods.

inner_folds

Requested number of grouped inner folds. It is reduced to the smaller class-specific group count and must remain at least two.

seed

Integer seed for fold construction and deterministic derived per-method seeds.

bootstrap_reps

Number of stratified biological-group bootstrap draws for `lower_auc_ci`.

verify_base

Whether [deploy_singlesample()] should run its row- equivariance gate for every base fit.

stack_stabilizer

Fixed non-negative L2 numerical stabilizer for the simplex stack. It is not tuned from outcomes.

x

A `singlesample_selector_set` object.

...

Unused.

Value

A `singlesample_selector`, `singlesample_selector_set`, or a `singlesample_selector_ineligible` object with an explicit audit when the requested route cannot be fitted.
