Prior PDF · normalnormal distribution. Reader scale (r). 95% CI ≈ [0.279, 0.354]; mean ≈ 0.316.0.2390.2780.3160.3550.394r0density

Historical evidence. This prior's contributing evidence is older than 15 years on average (centroid year 2002.06, ≈23.940000000000055 years old); treat the estimate as historical.

Intervals

Confidence interval (95%) — uncertainty about the mean ρ
[0.28, 0.35]
Credibility interval (95%) — distribution of the true effect across settings (the Bayesian prior)
[0.27, 0.36]
I² (heterogeneity) — share of total variance from between-study differences
82%

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=0.32 (k=2, high heterogeneity (I²=0.82)); no primary-deployment evidence yet

Sourceρ (r)Scope
Published literature0.32k = 2 · N = 54,467

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.
