Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The K* no-interactions model achieved better cross-validated Kappa and precision than all other models, while the K* multiplicative-interactions model achieved better A′ and recall than all other models for no-transfer-shallowness. → Gowda 2013

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Comparison of four models (K* and step regression, each with and without multiplicative interactions) in Table 2, evaluated with 10-fold student-level cross-validation on A′, Kappa, precision and recall. The authors conclude the overall success of the K* models suggests the relationships are non-linear.
"the K* no-interactions model achieves a better cross-validated Kappa and better precision than all other models, and the K* multiplicative interactions model achieves better A ′ and better recall than all other models."
