Experiments DB Dev 8a18c894dd feat(matlab): add Satterthwaite DF + honest random-slope test to LME reports
Every fitlme-based report (lme_*, paper_*, phase_*, and the variations'
analyze.m) now shows, per effect: residual-DF p, Satterthwaite-DF p, and --
for the interaction -- an HONEST test from a per-animal random-SLOPE model
(day|rat), whose Satterthwaite DF collapses toward the animal count.

New: tdcs_random_slope_interaction.m (shared helper). Wired into tdcs_lme,
tdcs_paper_lme, tdcs_phase_lme, variation_analyze; SUMMARY.csv gains
interaction_p_satt / interaction_p_rs. Regenerated all results/, variations/,
matched-effort outputs.

Key point this surfaces: Satterthwaite ~= residual on the random-INTERCEPT
model (the slope's error is at session level), so it does NOT fix
pseudoreplication; the random-slope model does. Effect: full-range mergeA2
interaction 0.009 -> 0.75 (collapses); unmerge_d0_5 0.015 -> 0.13 (n.s.);
the pooled-control early windows survive honestly (naive_a2_d0_5 0.001 ->
0.028; naive_boxa_d0_5 0.003 -> 0.036). Suite 42/42.

==============================================================================
LINEAR MIXED MODEL (days x tDCS) -- scenario: lme_mergeA2_d0_13
==============================================================================
model: success ~ day * tDCS + (1|subject) [tDCS: Electrode-Box-B2 = 1 vs Electrode-Box-A2 = 0]
N = 8 subjects, 98 sessions
day coverage: Box-B2 0..13, Box-A2 0..13
(day is raw and 0-indexed: our day 0 = the paper's "Day 1", so the tDCS
main effect below is the group difference on Day 1 -- comparable to the paper.)

tDCS (main, at Day 1) t(94)= 1.12 F(1)= 1.264 p=0.2637 p=0.2636 (df=98)
HONEST LME -- per-animal random slope (day|subject): interaction F(1,16.2)=1.37, p=0.2593
Note: Satterthwaite DF on the random-INTERCEPT model above stays ~= residual
(the slope's error is at the session level), so it does NOT fix pseudoreplication.
Letting each animal have its OWN slope collapses the interaction DF toward the animal
count -- this, and the per-animal slope test, are the honest learning-rate inference.
INTERPRETATION
- days x tDCS interaction: n.s. (p=0.1777, slope diff=1.00) -> slopes are parallel (no differential change over training).
- days (learning): SIGNIFICANT (p=5.4e-23) -> performance improves with training.
- tDCS main effect on Day 1 (our day 0): n.s. (p=0.2637) -> the groups are comparable (as in the paper) on Day 1.
Paper reference (N=24): interaction t(227)=2.68, F(1)=7.12, p=0.008;
days t(227)=9.64, F(1)=267.64, p=1.2e-18; tDCS t(227)=0.23, F(1)=0.053, p=0.81.
(Our N and exact statistics differ; this replicates the MODEL FORM on our data.)
