How It Is Calculated

Count each focal-place figure's distinct associated places and keep the largest value; use zero when the place has no figures.

What a higher value means

At least one figure attached to the place is more widely distributed.

Important qualification. The value can be driven by a single exceptionally widespread figure.

Current Model Cohort

These descriptive statistics use the current labelled cohort after aliases have been collapsed to one row per MANTO place.

Examples from the Current Data

Examples are descriptive checks on the calculated feature. Their outcome labels report what Pausanias says; they do not establish that the feature caused survival or abandonment.

Interpretation in the Predictive Model

Its current standardized coefficient is +0.493, pointing toward survives. This means that a one-standard-deviation increase changes the fitted log odds in that direction while the other included features are held fixed.

Because the connectedness features are correlated and the model's out-of-fold performance is weak, this is a conditional associationβ€”not a standalone ranking, causal effect, or historical explanation.
