Purpose

Estimate independent evidence count after discounting dependence and correlation.

Input contract

yaml
required: [evidence_paths, dependence_structure]
optional: [correlation_estimates, nominal_count]
constraints: [dependence assumptions and uncertainty must be explicit]

Procedure

  1. Count nominal paths and trace shared dependencies.
  2. Assign dependence classes or correlations.
  3. Estimate N_eff and sensitivity to dependence assumptions.

Output contract

yaml
produces: [nominal_count, dependence_map, effective_count, sensitivity_range]
delta_fields: [findings, evidence_updates, uncertainties, decisions]

Quality gates

  • Report N and N_eff separately; include a range when dependence is uncertain.

Failure and counterexamples

Do not inflate N_eff by counting repeated sources or shared models as independent.
