statistics-advisor

statistics-advisor is a skill for Claude Code from KhaledSaeed18/dotclaude. It costs 112 tokens per session (1,640 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A statistics planning and checking guide for empirical studies, meaning studies based on collected observations or measurements. It covers choosing tests, checking assumptions, planning sample sizes, and reporting effect sizes and confidence intervals as well as p-values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to describe data, choose parametric or robust comparisons, plan how many observations are needed, handle multiple comparisons, and write up the analysis.
Why use it?
It helps match the analysis to the study design and data, while reducing misleading conclusions from unsuitable tests, ignored assumptions, or incomplete reporting.

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

statistics-advisor 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 25d 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Statistics answer one question: how much of what was observed could be chance, and how big is the effect if it is real. Everything here serves reporting both parts honestly. Decide the analysis before seeing the data, and report deviations from that plan.

Step 1: describe the data before testing it

Always: n per group, mean and SD (or median and IQR for skewed data), min and max, missing values and why. Plot it (research-figures): a box plot with points or an ECDF per group shows more than any test. Check the shape (histogram, Q-Q plot) and the outliers, and decide how outliers are handled by rule (pre-specified), not by looking at which removal helps.

Step 2: choose the test

Comparison Data Parametric Non-parametric / robust
two independent groups continuous Welch's t-test (default over Student's) Mann-Whitney U; bootstrap CI of the difference
two paired measurements continuous paired t-test Wilcoxon signed-rank
three or more groups continuous one-way ANOVA (Welch) then Games-Howell post hoc Kruskal-Wallis then Dunn with Holm
repeated measures over conditions continuous repeated-measures ANOVA or mixed model Friedman; mixed model with robust SE
two categorical variables counts chi-square (expected counts ≥ 5) Fisher's exact
relationship between two continuous continuous Pearson r Spearman rho; Kendall tau for small n
outcome from several predictors continuous multiple regression robust regression; quantile regression
binary outcome from predictors binary logistic regression penalised logistic (small n)
Likert items ordinal treat a validated scale total as interval ordinal regression per item; never a t-test on one item
time to event durations with censoring Cox regression Kaplan-Meier with log-rank
agreement between raters categorical Cohen's kappa (2 raters), Fleiss (more) Krippendorff's alpha

Prefer estimation over testing when the question is "how much": report the difference with a 95% CI (bootstrap when in doubt) and let the p-value be secondary.

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.

statistics-advisor is a skill published in the GitHub repository KhaledSaeed18/dotclaude (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 1,640 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-22.
