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? Welch's ANOVA revealed significant differences among clusters in usage of sine, cosine, linear, absolute value, quadratic, and polynomial functions, but not logarithmic, exponential, radical, or other functions. → Bautista 2026

q2 · i? · design · r2

Welch's ANOVA on the full sample compared average usage of nine function types across the three clusters. Six function types showed significant differences; four (log, exp, rad, otf) did not. Games-Howell post hoc tests identified specific pairwise differences between clusters.

"significant differences were observed for sine (sin), cosine (cos), linear (lin), absolute value (abs), quadratic (qua), and polynomial (pol) functions, indicating that cluster membership influenced the frequency with which these function types were utilized."
