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.
Historical evidence. This prior's contributing evidence is older than 15 years on average (centroid year 1987, ≈39 years old); treat the estimate as historical.
Intervals
- Confidence interval (95%) — uncertainty about the mean ρ
- [-0.29, -0.02]
- Credibility interval (95%) — distribution of the true effect across settings (the Bayesian prior)
- [-0.20, -0.12]
- I² (heterogeneity) — share of total variance from between-study differences
- 3% — studies largely agree
The true effect is ~constant across settings — it generalizes.
SD_ρ≈0 — true effect is ~constant across settings; generalizes (observed-score scale until artifact correction, PRN-058)
Evidence provenance
published ρ=-0.16 (k=2, replication: replicated); no primary-deployment evidence yet
| Source | ρ (r) | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Published literature | -0.16 | k = 2 · N = 100 |
- replication: replicated
- aging literature (freshness=0.28)
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.
