📊 Variance Decomposition
Proportion of weight variance explained by each model component:
Variance proportions from enhanced sensitivity model. GP captures 83% of variance, fitness effects account for ~1%.
🔬 Interpretation
- GP (83%): Most variance comes from long-term trends captured by Gaussian Process
- Daily (2.8%): Consistent daily weight fluctuations
- Fitness effects (~1%): Combined effect of all 4 fitness components
- Strength Long (0.8%): Largest fitness effect comes from long-term strength training
⚙️ Enhanced Sampling Configuration
Conservative sampling settings for reliable inference:
| Parameter | Value | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| adapt_delta | 0.99 | Conservative sampling, reduces divergent transitions |
| max_treedepth | 12 | Deeper exploration of posterior |
| warmup iterations | 1000 | Extended warmup for better adaptation |
| sampling iterations | 1000 | Sufficient samples for reliable inference |
| chains | 4 | Multiple chains for convergence diagnostics |
| prediction points | 200 | Dense grid for smooth predictions |
🎯 Why Conservative Sampling Matters
Higher adapt_delta values (closer to 1.0) make the sampler more conservative, reducing the chance of divergent transitions but potentially increasing computation time. This trade-off is worthwhile for reliable inference in complex models like this four-fitness state-space system.
📋 Biological Interpretation
🏃♂️ Aerobic Exercise
Short-term (γ_a_short = -0.030): Negative effect from dehydration and glycogen depletion
Long-term (γ_a_long = -0.036): Negative effect from fat loss and metabolic adaptation
Expected: Both should be negative ✓
🏋️♂️ Strength Training
Short-term (γ_s_short = -0.004): Near zero (expected positive from inflammation)
Long-term (γ_s_long = 0.017): Positive effect from muscle growth ✓
Expected: Short positive, long positive (partial match)
🎯 Enhanced Model Insights
The enhanced sensitivity model with conservative sampling provides reliable estimates of these physiological effects. While the magnitude of fitness effects is small relative to overall trends (~1% of variance), the model successfully detects the expected patterns with proper uncertainty quantification.
