Pausanias Analysis

Shared-Mythic-Figure Neighbor Count

The number of operational neighbours that share at least one mythic figure with the focal place.

Stored model field: shared_mythic_figure_neighbor_count

How It Is Calculated

For each local neighbour, intersect its distinct person set with the focal place's person set and count the neighbour once when the intersection is non-empty.

What a higher value means

The place shares figures with more members of its neighbourhood.

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 +1.040, 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 association—not a standalone ranking, causal effect, or historical explanation.

Data Scope

• The feature is calculated from MANTO release 19446255 using evidence dated strictly before Pausanias.
• The current labelled cohort contains 255 distinct MANTO places.
• The prediction target is whether Pausanias reports a place as surviving or not surviving, not its modern archaeological condition.
• Feature values and examples may change when MANTO releases, links, labels, or feature definitions are revised.
