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

[0.25, 0.47]

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

[0.14, 0.55]

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

99% — the contributing studies disagree almost completely; read the pooled value as a midpoint of conflicting findings, not as one population's effect

The true effect varies across settings — moderators likely matter.

SD_ρ>0 — true effect varies across settings; likely moderated (observed-score scale until artifact correction, PRN-058)

Evidence provenance

published ρ=0.36 (k=5, high heterogeneity (I²=0.99)); no primary-deployment evidence yet

• high heterogeneity (I²=0.99)
• 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 | 0.382068, 0.0628385);

beta = pm.Normal("beta", mu=0.382068, sigma=0.0628385)

brms::prior(normal(0.382068, 0.0628385), class = "b")

# base R sample
rnorm(N, mean = 0.382068, sd = 0.0628385)

np.random.normal(loc=0.382068, scale=0.0628385, size=N)
