(e.g. the standard normal CDF) and normal distributions to fit the group-level distribution.
But we cannot simply apply the same transformation to the mean of the real-valued normal distribution to derive the group-level mean on the parameter scale! This ignores individual variability.

If you’re estimating group-level means of constraint parameters, which are fitted with nonlinear transformations, beware that a common approach can produce biased estimates—especially with high individual variability.

For constraint parameters, we often use nonlinear transformations...
