statistical-power

statistical-power is a skill for Claude Code from dralkh/iktinah. It costs 190 tokens per session (3,445 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of statistical-power, MIT.

A tool for statistical power and sample-size calculations. Statistical power is the chance that a study will detect an effect of a given size when that effect is real.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan the number of subjects, samples, or replicates, estimate the smallest detectable effect, and justify study designs for grants, ethics reviews, or preregistration.
Why use it?
It helps avoid studies that are too small to produce useful results or unnecessarily large studies that waste time, money, or participants.

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

statistical-power 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/power.py, scripts/simulate_power.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Statistical Power & Sample Size

Overview

Power analysis answers one of the most consequential questions in study planning: how large a sample do you need to reliably detect an effect of a given size, and what could you detect with the sample you can afford? An underpowered study wastes resources and produces inconclusive or irreproducible results; an overpowered one wastes participants, money, and (in clinical work) exposes more people to risk than necessary. Getting this right before data collection is the single highest-leverage statistical decision in a project.

Four quantities are locked together for any given test: sample size (n), effect size, significance level (α), and power (1 − β). Fix any three and the fourth is determined. Every calculation in this skill is some rearrangement of that relationship.

This skill covers the two ways to do power analysis:

  • Closed-form formulas (fast, exact for standard tests) — see references/closed_form_recipes.md.
  • Simulation / Monte Carlo (works for any design or model you can simulate and analyze) — see references/simulation_based_power.md.

For choosing and converting effect sizes — usually the hardest part — see references/effect_sizes.md.

When to Use This Skill

  • Determining required sample size before collecting data (a priori power analysis)
  • Finding the minimum detectable effect (MDE) for a fixed, already-determined sample size
  • Producing power curves (power vs. n, or power vs. effect size) for a grant or protocol
  • Justifying a sample size for an IRB submission, grant, or pre-registration
  • Powering designs with unequal group sizes or non-1:1 allocation
  • Powering anything without a textbook formula (mixed models, logistic/Poisson regression, cluster-randomized trials, survival analysis, mediation, interactions) via simulation
  • Accounting for multiple comparisons, attrition/dropout, or clustering in the sample-size estimate

Installation

Use uv. Pin versions in production; unpinned is fine for exploration.
