Detailed replication evidence · 2026-11-02

Right direction on all 8 significant effects, close ranking (ρ = 0.90); sizes not comparable (the paper reports logit coefficients).

Use it to screen and rank which attributes move choice; sizes need the paper's respondent data.

Supported uses

  • Screening which attributes move choice, and in which direction.
  • Ranking attributes and levels by how strongly they move choice.

Limits to keep in view

  • 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 = 10.6203. Calibration aligns magnitude; it does not establish agreement in unadjusted effect sizes.

Subgroups · screen, not a result

Split by sex: significance not reported between the groups, so there is nothing to compare

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.

People’s female coefficients are 1.24× the other group’s, so raw differences mix preference with answer consistency; read the shape ρ beside them. Interval: Wilson 95% on the significant differences. Shuffle null: groups reassigned at random among the simulated respondents. Scored from screen run 80894888-173c-476f-9e2e-8507514b80f5, W&B score ↗.
