Description
Compare cue correctness with a baseline and tolerance.
Cognitive research records can encode stimuli, response timing, probability assumptions and observation support. Local differences and caller-defined tolerance labels do not establish perceptual validity, a cognitive mechanism, statistical equivalence or a clinical assessment.
Compare cue correctness with a baseline and tolerance.
When to use this tool
Use Cue Validity Uninformative Base Flag when checking a supplied cognitive-task timing, stimulus, probability or evidence convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter cueCorrect, baseCorrect, tolerance. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read gap, uninformative. Inspect uninformative before interpreting the associated values.
Compare cue correctness with a baseline and tolerance. Require cueCorrect/baseCorrect in [0,1] and tolerance >= 0; gap = cue-base, uninformative means abs(gap) <= tolerance.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| cueCorrect | Cue Correct | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; maximum 1. |
| baseCorrect | Base Correct | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; maximum 1. |
| tolerance | Nonnegative caller-selected comparison tolerance, in matching units. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| gap | Signed difference under the stated comparison convention, with matching units. | Required. Finite number. |
| uninformative | abs(cueCorrect-baseCorrect) <= supplied tolerance; local label, not a statistical equivalence conclusion. | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- This is a supplied tolerance label, not a statistical equivalence test, evidence of no information or a cognitive diagnosis.
- 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 validated study design, calibrated measurements and appropriate statistical/professional interpretation for cognitive or health conclusions.
