Different de-margining methods redistribute field probability differently; no single method is silently treated as truth.

Research question

How sensitive are normalized probabilities to margin-removal method?

Findings

  • Proportional, power, Shin, odds-ratio, and additive methods diverge on longshot mass.
  • Users should select and disclose the method used.

Limitations

  • Illustrative synthetic fields only.
