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
- [-0.50, -0.40]
- Credibility interval (95%) — distribution of the true effect across settings (the Bayesian prior)
- [-0.52, -0.37]
- I² (heterogeneity) — share of total variance from between-study differences
- 96% — 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 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=-0.45 (k=3, high heterogeneity (I²=0.96)); no primary-deployment evidence yet
| Source | ρ (r) | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Published literature | -0.45 | k = 3 · N = 29,832 |
- high heterogeneity (I²=0.96)
- 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.
