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
- [-0.48, 0.24]
- Credibility interval (95%) — distribution of the true effect across settings (the Bayesian prior)
- [-0.60, 0.38]
- I² (heterogeneity) — share of total variance from between-study differences
- 100% — 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=-0.14 (k=2, high heterogeneity (I²=1.00)); no primary-deployment evidence yet
| Source | ρ (r) | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Published literature | -0.14 | k = 2 · N = 15,474 |
- high heterogeneity (I²=1.00)
- 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.
