performing-statistical-analysis

performing-statistical-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from MannLabs/proteomics-agent-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (853 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A statistics workflow for finding proteins that differ between experimental groups in already-prepared proteomics data. Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins in a sample.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for t-tests, ANOVA, or linear models, including repeated-measure and batch-corrected experiments, and for making volcano plots.
Why use it?
It provides suitable comparisons for two or more groups and accounts for false discoveries when many proteins are tested at once.

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

performing-statistical-analysis 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.

Performing Proteomics Statistical Analysis

The goal of Differential Expression Analysis (DEA) is to identify proteins that change significantly between conditions.

Context

Experimental conditions

  • Pairwise (2 Groups): Explicitly define "Control" vs. "Treatment"
  • Multi-Group (>2 Groups):
    • Reference-based: Compare every condition against a universal control (e.g., Drug_A vs Ctrl, Drug_B vs Ctrl).
    • All-vs-All: Compare every permutation (e.g., Drug_A vs Drug_B).
    • Global: Use ANOVA to detect if any change exists across groups.

Statistical models

  • t-test: The default for pairwise comparisons. With small sample sizes (typically n < 5 per group), use moderated t-tests (e.g., limma's eBayes), which borrow variance information across proteins to stabilize estimates.
  • ANOVA: Required when comparing more than two groups simultaneously.
  • Linear models: Recommended for complex designs. Use standard linear models for factorial (case-control) designs or batch correction; use linear mixed-effects models specifically when you have repeated measures (e.g., paired samples, time-courses) to account for within-subject correlation.

Multiple Testing Correction

Correcting the resulting p-values for multiple finding testing. The standard correction method to control false positives identifications is Benjamini-Hochberg FDR.

2. Workflow Statistical Testing

Copy this checklist and track progress:

Testcase Progress:
- [ ] Step 1: Define the experimental conditions for comparision
- [ ] Step 2: Run statistical model
- [ ] Step 3: Apply Multiple Testing Correction
- [ ] Step 4: Filter for regulated proteins
- [ ] Step 5: Create a Volcano plot
- [ ] Step 6: Create a Heatmap
- [ ] Step 7: Export results

Step 1: Define the experimental conditions for comparision

Check the study context (Experiment.md) and the prompt.

  • For 2 Groups: Define group1 (Control) and group2 (Treatment).
  • For >2 Groups: Select Strategy A (ANOVA for global differences) or Strategy B (Specific Pairwise Contrasts).

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.

performing-statistical-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository MannLabs/proteomics-agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 853 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
