… read Four places told the caller something that was not true of their data or their model. `set_agd()` compared a reported binary SD against sqrt(p * (1 - p)). That is the population standard deviation of a Bernoulli variable, and a sample standard deviation uses the n-1 denominator, so it equals sqrt(n / (n - 1) * p * (1 - p)) and is always larger. Five zeros and five ones report a mean of 0.5 and an SD of 0.5270, and the ceiling was 0.5, so ordinary data was refused as impossible. The bound is now the finite-sample maximum, read from the outcome sample size when there is one and otherwise from n = 2, which is the loosest any sample can be and therefore cannot reject a valid row. A reported figure also earns half a unit in the last place it was written to, so 0.53 from a published table passes while an unrounded value earns essentially nothing. An SD of 0.9 at p = 0.5 is still refused. `dlogitnorm()` took `...` and never looked at it. `plogitnorm()` and `qlogitnorm()` hand theirs to pnorm() and qnorm(), so a misspelled name errors there; the density computes its own value, so the same typo was absorbed and `dlogitnorm(0.5, lgo = TRUE)` returned the natural-scale density. Unused arguments are now named in an error. `conditional_effects()` refused an hr/tr request by asserting that a proportional-hazards model has no constant time ratio, and that an accelerated failure time model's hazard ratio varies with time. Neither holds for the exponential or the Weibull, which are both: with a shape shared across arms each has a constant hazard ratio and a constant time ratio, related by TR = HR^(-1/shape), or 1/HR for an exponential. The refusal now describes the parameterization the fit estimates and gives that conversion, and keeps the time-varying explanation for the log-normal and log-logistic, where it is a property of the model rather than of the interface. `prior_sensitivity()` refits through arguments the fit recorded, but `mlumr()` forwards `...` straight to the sampler, so a non-default `thin` or `init` was never stored and the refits quietly ran under the defaults. Their names are now kept with the fit and a refit that cannot replay them says so. The names only: an `init` can be a list of matrices and a fit is not the place to keep one. The shoulder and caries datasets are each synthesized from one randomized trial and split into an IPD arm and an aggregate arm, which the documentation called an example "whose true answer is still known". What exists is a randomized reference comparison from the full data, an estimate with sampling error rather than an evaluated population estimand, and both dataset pages now say that. Two existing tests asserted the old message strings and now assert the corrected ones, including that the dual-family refusal does NOT claim the other measure is unavailable. Full suite: 3289 pass, 0 fail, 0 error.

…o warnings The binary SD check allowed for rounding in the reported SD but computed its ceiling from the reported proportion as if that were exact. Both are figures off the same table. 493 ones out of 500 give p = 0.986 and a sample SD of 0.1176; printed to two decimals that is 0.99 and 0.12, and a ceiling built from 0.99 alone is about 0.0996, so the row was refused. One success in 25 printed to one decimal is worse: p = 0.0 gives a ceiling of exactly zero. The ceiling is now the largest variance consistent with the reported proportion, taken at the point of its interval closest to 0.5. An SD of 0.9 at p = 0.5, of 0.35 at p = 0.99 and of 0.4 at p = 0.05 are all still refused. `conditional_effects()` explained an hr/tr refusal before checking whether the baseline shapes differ. For a proportional-hazards Weibull with the default per-study shapes, an explicit `effect = "tr"` therefore got the dual-family note telling it to convert with "the shape", of which that fit has two and no constant time ratio to recover. The accurate error for that case was already written a few lines below; it now runs first, so the conversion note is only reached by fits where it is true. `extra_backend_args` recorded every name the caller passed through `...`, including `control`, which the rstan path stores and replays in full three lines above. A fit made with `control = list(adapt_engaged = FALSE)` therefore had its refits announce that they were falling back to defaults for the one setting they reproduce exactly. Only names this record does not already carry are stored. The refit warning also fired on what the caller had already re-supplied, so `prior_sensitivity(fit, thin = 2)` warned that the refits use the default `thin` while forwarding `thin = 2` to every one of them. It now compares against the caller's `...`, and runs once per call rather than once per prior scale. Documentation: the time-varying hazard ratio list omitted the gamma, which takes that path alongside the log-normal, log-logistic and generalized gamma. The logit-normal `...` promised delegation to the stats function, true of `plogitnorm()` and `qlogitnorm()` and no longer true of the density. And the shoulder/caries rationale said the data are not drawn from a declared generating model, which reads as a contradiction beside a documented synthesis process; it now says what actually follows, that reproducing a trial's covariate-outcome relationships does not define a population causal effect to compare against. Full suite: 3304 pass, 0 fail, 0 error.

The rounding allowance scanned for the last decimal place a figure was written to, and gave up after eight. Anything quoted more finely was therefore read as exact and given no allowance at all, which is the one case where it needs one most: five zeros and five ones have a sample SD of 0.5270462766947299, and reporting that to nine places puts it 2e-10 above a ceiling built from the unrounded value, so the row was refused for being quoted accurately. The scan now runs to fifteen decimals, which is about where a double stops distinguishing them. An unrounded value still matches only at full precision and earns essentially nothing, so this remains a statement about how the number was written rather than a blanket slack term. Full suite: 3306 pass, 0 fail, 0 error.
Four places told the caller something that was not true of their data or their
model.
set_agd()refused valid binary summariesThe check compared a reported SD against
sqrt(p * (1 - p)), the populationstandard deviation of a Bernoulli variable. A sample SD uses the n-1
denominator, so it equals
sqrt(n / (n - 1) * p * (1 - p))and is alwayslarger. Five zeros and five ones give:
The bound is now the finite-sample maximum, taken from the outcome sample size
when there is one and otherwise from
n = 2, the loosest any sample can be, soit cannot reject a valid row. A reported figure also earns half a unit in the
last place it was written to, so
0.53from a published table passes while anunrounded value earns essentially nothing.

that an AFT model's hazard ratio varies with time. Neither is true of the

each has a constant hazard ratio and a constant time ratio, related by

conversion for the dual families, and keeps the time-varying explanation for
the log-normal and log-logistic, where it is a property of the model rather
than of the interface. Writing the first version of this message taught me the
distinction the hard way: an existing test for
exponential-aftfailed againstit, because that message had replaced one universal claim with another.
prior_sensitivity()could not replay every settingmlumr()forwards...to the sampler, so a fit could have run with anon-default

refit that cannot replay them warns and names them. Names only: an
initcanbe a list of matrices, and a fit is not the place to keep one.
Documentation
The
shoulderandcariespages called their example one "whose true answeris still known". Each is synthesized from a single randomized trial and split
into an IPD arm and an aggregate arm, so what exists is a randomized reference
comparison from the full data: an estimate carrying sampling error, not an
evaluated population causal truth. Both pages now say that; the claim appeared
on both, not just the one.
