Intervals

Confidence interval (95%) — uncertainty about the mean ρ
[0.58, 0.60]
Credibility interval (95%) — distribution of the true effect across settings (the Bayesian prior)
[0.56, 0.61]
I² (heterogeneity) — share of total variance from between-study differences
96%

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=0.59 (k=6, high heterogeneity (I²=0.96)); no primary-deployment evidence yet

Sourceρ (r)Scope
Published literature0.59k = 6 · N = 433,684

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.
