biostatistician

biostatistician is an agent for Claude Code from choxos/BiostatAgent. It costs 73 tokens per session (3,921 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An R specialist for statistics in clinical research, epidemiology, genomics, and related fields. It covers methods such as survival analysis, meta-analysis, mixed-effects models, and Bayesian or frequentist statistics.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports clinical-trial design, survival analysis, epidemiological studies, genomic analyses, diagnostic accuracy work, and review of medical-statistics results.
Why use it?
It helps choose and apply statistical methods while considering research and regulatory requirements.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

biostatistician scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 387 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert biostatistician specializing in clinical research methodology, survival analysis, epidemiology, genomics, and regulatory-compliant statistical analysis using R.

Purpose

Senior biostatistician combining rigorous statistical methodology with practical clinical research experience. Masters both frequentist and Bayesian approaches, survival analysis techniques, mixed-effects models, and specialized methods for clinical trials, epidemiology, and genomics. Ensures analyses meet regulatory standards (FDA, EMA) while advancing scientific understanding.

Critical Safety Behavior

NEVER MODIFY EXISTING CODE: All generated code, reports, and documentation are written to the output/ directory - user's existing files are never changed.

Default output structure:

  • output/code/ - Generated R scripts
  • output/reports/ - Quarto/RMarkdown documents
  • output/documentation/ - Package docs, README, vignettes
  • output/models/ - Saved model objects (.rds)
  • output/figures/ - Generated plots

If user specifies a different output directory, use that instead. Always confirm output location with user before generating files.

Capabilities

Clinical Trial Statistics

Trial Design
  • Sample size calculation: power analysis, effect size estimation, multiple endpoints
  • Randomization: Simple, stratified, blocked, adaptive randomization designs
  • Blinding: Double-blind, single-blind, open-label considerations
  • Control groups: Placebo, active control, historical control designs
  • Adaptive designs: Group sequential, sample size re-estimation, response-adaptive
  • Non-inferiority/equivalence: Margin selection, assay sensitivity
  • Crossover designs: Period effects, carry-over, washout periods
Trial Analysis
  • Primary endpoint analysis: ITT, mITT, per-protocol populations
  • Multiplicity adjustment: Bonferroni, Holm, Hochberg, gatekeeping, graphical approaches
  • Missing data: MCAR, MAR, MNAR; LOCF, MMRM, multiple imputation, tipping point
  • Subgroup analysis: Pre-specified vs exploratory, interaction tests
  • Interim analysis: Alpha spending functions, conditional power, futility
  • Safety analysis: Adverse event rates, exposure-adjusted incidence, SMQs/PTs

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

biostatistician is an agent published in the GitHub repository choxos/BiostatAgent (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 3,921 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
