Human vs model
Data updated
Each chart plots one perception dimension (Y, 0 to 100 from 1 to 5 ratings) against our model's overall score (X). A diagonal-ish cloud means structure tracks feeling. A scattered cloud means our model captures something other than what people experience.
Correlations (Pearson r)
Strongest: Perceived comfort (r = -0.61, n = 7). Weakest: Perceived activity (r = -0.12, n = 7).
| Dimension | n | Pearson r |
|---|---|---|
| Perceived activity | 7 | -0.12 |
| Perceived comfort | 7 | -0.61 |
| Perceived safety | 7 | -0.44 |
| Perceived sociability | 7 | -0.50 |
Perceived activity
Does the park feel socially active? · n = 7 · r = -0.12
Perceived comfort
Does it feel comfortable to spend time in? · n = 7 · r = -0.61
Perceived safety
Does it feel safe? · n = 7 · r = -0.44
Perceived sociability
Does it feel good for lingering? · n = 7 · r = -0.50
