Out-of-sample (2020-2025): r(+15d)=+0.045, p=0.994 — not significant.
Combined (1976-2025): p=0.039 (2.1σ), sinusoid P=9.95 yr, BF=27.5.
Bayes factor strongly favours solar-cycle modulation over a constant,
confirming the correlation is driven by the shared ~10-year solar cycle
rather than a causal CR→seismic mechanism.

Does appending OOS data strengthen or weaken significance?

Sinusoidal envelope fit

BF = 27.45: strong evidence for sinusoidal envelope

Best-fit period: 9.95 years (constrained to [9, 13] years)

Parameter Value
Period P 9.95 yr
Amplitude A 0.1470
Phase φ 4.41 rad
Baseline μ 0.0481
Model B BIC -153.76
Model A BIC -147.14
ΔBIC (AB) 6.62
Bayes factor (BF) 27.451

Station roster comparison (OOS window)

Roster Description Stations p_global
A In BOTH windows ? N/A
B_oos All OOS stations ? N/A
C New OOS-only ? N/A

A real effect should appear consistently across all three rosters. Divergence (e.g., significant only in A) would suggest station-selection bias.
