They are evidence objects, not automatic model-validity certificates. ```{r ppc-concept, eval=FALSE} ppc <- check_pupil_posterior_predictive( pupil_fit, ndraws = 200, window = c(0.3, 1.0) ) pupil_ppc_table(ppc) plot_pupil_ppc(ppc) ``` The implementation summarizes observed and replicated trajectories, declared window summaries, AUC, peak response and latency, residual structure, and measurement-context overlays when corresponding indicators are available. ## Temporal residual review ```{r residual-concept, eval=FALSE} diag <- diagnose_pupil_fit(pupil_fit) as.data.frame(diag) acf_table <- pupil_residual_acf(pupil_fit, max_lag = 12) head(acf_table) plot_pupil_residual_acf(acf_table) ``` Sampling diagnostics reuse the package's posterior/MCMC infrastructure and report quantities such as R-hat, effective sample size, divergences, treedepth, and available energy diagnostics. Temporal diagnostics additionally show residual autocorrelation and support over event-relative time. No single threshold is labelled proof of model adequacy. Measurement limitations, specification uncertainty, and the prediction target remain separate questions.
