Detailed replication evidence · 2026-11-02

Right direction on 13 of 14 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, and confirm the reversed effect with people.

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 = 2.5257. Calibration aligns magnitude; it does not establish agreement in unadjusted effect sizes.

Subgroups · screen, not a result

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

screen, not a result. Each row is the old over 50 group’s effect minus the young 18 50 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 old over 50 coefficients are 1.38× 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.
