Description
Return observed opt-out fractions and a relative frequency.
Behavioral-economics tasks compare supplied payoffs, reference points, budgets and observed choices. A gap, dominance flag or response fraction illustrates a declared convention without identifying a psychological bias, predicting real choices or selecting a suitable financial action.
Return observed opt-out fractions and a relative frequency.
When to use this tool
Use Default Opt Out Relative Frequency Term when checking the stated experimental payoff, budget, reference or choice convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter optOut, exposed, controlOptOut, controlExposed. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read optOutFraction, controlFraction, relativeFrequency. Use the output convention below.
Return observed opt-out fractions and a relative frequency. Require positive whole exposed/controlExposed, bounded optOut and controlOptOut >= 1; ratio = optOut/exposed divided by controlOptOut/controlExposed.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| optOut | Opt Out | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| exposed | Exposed | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| controlOptOut | Control Opt Out | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| controlExposed | Control Exposed | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| optOutFraction | Opt Out Fraction | Required. Finite number. |
| controlFraction | Control Fraction | Required. Finite number. |
| relativeFrequency | Relative Frequency | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The control positive-count requirement avoids zero division; no uncertainty, causal default effect or recommended intervention is estimated.
- 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use a well-defined study design and complete data to estimate behavior; assess real financial rights, consequences and uncertainty independently.
