Description
Encode supplied default-selection and active-change flags.
Behavioral records distinguish observed outcomes, missing observations, response deadlines, code conflicts and sampling opportunities. Unobserved trials differ from observed wrong responses, while time coverage differs from event probability. Supplied observations and cutoff values do not by themselves validate a task or identify a behavioral mechanism.
Encode supplied default-selection and active-change flags.
When to use this tool
Use Choice Default Opt Out Flag when you already have defaultSelected, activelyChanged and need to encode supplied default-selection and active-change flags.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter defaultSelected, activelyChanged. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read defaultRetained, optedOut. Inspect defaultRetained, optedOut before interpreting the associated values.
Return defaultRetained=defaultSelected&&!activelyChanged and optedOut=activelyChanged&&!defaultSelected.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| defaultSelected | Default Selected | Required. Boolean. |
| activelyChanged | Actively Changed | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| defaultRetained | Default Retained | Required. Boolean. |
| optedOut | Opted Out | Required. Boolean. |
{
"input": {
"defaultSelected": true,
"activelyChanged": false
},
"output": {
"defaultRetained": true,
"optedOut": false
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Both outputs can be false for other flag combinations. The tool does not inspect an interface, validate consent or infer a choice history.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the complete protocol, observation records and analysis plan. Check missingness, coding rules, timing and sampling design before interpreting local counts, labels or interval fractions as research outcomes or appropriate interventions.
