Distribution

Weakly informative prior. This prior is weakly informative. It will nudge your posterior but won't overwhelm it; expect data to do most of the work in modest samples.

Intervals

Confidence interval (95%) — uncertainty about the mean ρ

[0.40, 0.42]

Credibility interval (95%) — distribution of the true effect across settings (the Bayesian prior)

— needs ≥2 studies to estimate (k = 1)

I² (heterogeneity) — share of total variance from between-study differences

— needs ≥2 studies to estimate

k<2 — between-study heterogeneity not estimable; credibility interval / generalization not assessed

Evidence provenance

published ρ=0.41 (k=1, replication: meta-analytic); no primary-deployment evidence yet

• replication: meta-analytic

No primary-deployment evidence yet — this prior rests on published literature alone. As anonymized, aggregated effect sizes from real deployments are contributed, they appear here as a distinct, publication-bias-free source, fused with the literature into a posterior estimate.

Code

target += normal_lpdf(beta | 0.435611, 0.00728918);

beta = pm.Normal("beta", mu=0.435611, sigma=0.00728918)

brms::prior(normal(0.435611, 0.00728918), class = "b")

# base R sample
rnorm(N, mean = 0.435611, sd = 0.00728918)

np.random.normal(loc=0.435611, scale=0.00728918, size=N)
