# Habitlock Economics Dataset

## Dataset Description
### Summary
Synthetic 200-row dataset for `Habitlock` measurement and computational experiments.

### Supported Tasks
- Economic analysis
- Behavioral Economics research
- Computational economics

### Languages
- English (metadata and documentation)
- Python (code examples)

## Dataset Structure
### Data Fields
- `id`: Unique observation id
- `session`: Synthetic decision session
- `behavior_persistence`: Observed persistence in repeated behavior
- `incentive_decay`: Decay of original monetary/non-monetary incentive strength
- `switching_friction`: Friction associated with changing established behavior
- `cue_dependence`: Dependence on contextual cues and routines
- `reinforcement_memory`: Memory strength of past reinforcement
- `default_exposure`: Exposure to default-option repetition
- `deliberative_override`: Capacity for reflective override of habit
- `habitlock_index`: Composite term index

### Data Splits
- Full dataset: 200 examples

## Dataset Creation
### Source Data
Synthetic data generated for demonstrating Habitlock applications.

### Data Generation
Channels are sampled from controlled distributions with correlated structure. The term index is computed from normalized channels and directional weights.

## Considerations
### Social Impact
Research-only synthetic data for method development and reproducibility testing.
