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
[-0.64, -0.28]
Credibility interval (95%) — distribution of the true effect across settings (the Bayesian prior)
[-0.75, -0.06]
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=-0.48 (k=5, high heterogeneity (I²=1.00)); no primary-deployment evidence yet

Sourceρ (r)Scope
Published literature-0.48k = 5 · N = 49,045

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.

Drop this prior straight into your model. Snippets generated from the synthesized distribution + parameters.
