How It Is Calculated

Take the maximum evidence_latest_year across eligible edges touching the place. BCE years are negative. Places with no dated edge use the internal sentinel βˆ’1400 and are reported separately on this page.

What a higher value means

Among attested places, a higher value means evidence continues closer to Pausanias's period.

Important qualification. This records the latest eligible source date represented in MANTO, not the historical end of a place or tradition.

Current Model Cohort

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

98 no eligible dated attestation observations are reported separately and excluded from the descriptive year statistics below.

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 -0.186, pointing toward does not survive. 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.
