Historical results use their original estimator and reference. They are not a matched comparison with the current run.

Detailed replication evidence · 2026-11-02

Right direction on 8 of 9 effects, weak ranking (ρ = 0.60); sizes not comparable (the paper reports logit coefficients).

Use it to screen which attributes move choice; sizes need the paper's respondent data, and confirm the reversed effect with people.

Supported uses

  • Nothing yet without human confirmation.

Limits to keep in view

  • Ranking close levels against each other; the order diverges from humans.
  • Decisions that hinge on the attributes whose direction flipped (listed below).
  • Effect sizes in the paper's units; only direction, rank and shape are compared.

Effects on a common scale

Human effects: logit coefficient. Synthetic effects are multiplied by the record’s calibration factor, k = 3.2006. Calibration aligns magnitude; it does not establish agreement in unadjusted effect sizes.

● Human   ◆ Calibrated synthetic · Lines show human 95% intervals where available.

Subgroups · screen, not a result

Split by gender: 0 of 3 significant differences keep their direction in the simulation (0% to 56%)

screen, not a result. Each row is the female group’s effect minus the male group’s, human in logit, simulated on the simulation’s own scale, so compare direction, not size. A Jev fast-small screen makes no comparison claim.
