PPI-Corrected Tests Boost Signal Detection in LLM Evals with Partial Human Labels

The author shared insights into statistical methods for AI evaluations, highlighting how PPI-corrected tests (such as rank-based Wilcoxon signed-ranks tests) can increase the statistical power to detect real effects using only a subset of human labels.

While this approach significantly improves signal detection compared to traditional methods on partial data, it still falls short of the performance achieved with a fully human-labeled dataset.
