Equation 11 · Part 2 · How to Evaluate Codex Beyond SWE-bench and Vendor Scores

Symbol α

logit⁡(pir)=α+ur+β⊤xir,ur∼N(0,σr2),\operatorname{logit}(p_{ir})=\alpha+u_r+\beta^\top x_{ir}, \qquad u_r\sim\mathcal N(0,\sigma_r^2),
α\alpha

What this part means

α is one of the signed contributions combined to compute the quantity on the left.

Its job in the formula

α is one of the signed contributions combined to compute the quantity on the left.

The passage around this formula

A hierarchical model can represent repository effects: logit⁡(pir)=α+ur+β⊤xir,ur∼N(0,σr2)\operatorname{logit}(p_{ir})=\alpha+u_r+\beta^\top x_{ir}, \qquad u_r\sim\mathcal N(0,\sigma_r^2). where r indexes repositories and xirx_{ir} task characteristics. The estimate can then expose between-repository variance rather than hiding it inside a global mean. Bootstrap intervals should resample at relevant task-family or repository levels when generalization across those units is the target.

A variable is a named place for a value. Its letter is a local label: x can mean position in one formula and a data point in another.
