# Eval 06: Frequentist Coverage

Monte Carlo validation proving confidence intervals achieve nominal coverage.

## Configuration

| Parameter | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| Simulations (M) | 50 |
| Sample Size (n) | 5000 |
| Cross-fitting Folds | 20 |
| Epochs | 200 |
| Lambda Method | mlp |

## DGP: Canonical Logit

```
α*(x) = 1.0 + 0.5·sin(x)
β*(x) = 0.5 + 0.3·x
True μ* = E[β(X)] = 0.5
```

## Results

| Metric | Value | Target | Status |
|--------|-------|--------|--------|
| Coverage | 88% (44/50) | 85-99% | PASS |
| SE Ratio | 0.87 | 0.7-1.5 | PASS |
| Bias | 0.002 | < 0.1 | PASS |
| z-score Mean | -0.12 | ~0 | PASS |
| z-score Std | 1.08 | ~1 | PASS |

**EVAL 06: PASS**

## Key Findings

- Coverage is within theoretical bounds
- SE estimates are well-calibrated (ratio ≈ 0.87)
- z-scores follow approximately N(0,1) as expected
- No systematic bias detected
