statistical-analysis

statistical-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from TobiasBlask/open-paper-machine. It costs 58 tokens per session (5,135 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of statistical-analysis, MIT.

A guided helper for analysing data and choosing suitable statistical tests. It covers methods such as t-tests, ANOVA, regression, correlation, and Bayesian analysis, along with checking whether the tests' requirements are met.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning research analyses, checking data assumptions, calculating statistical power, and writing results in APA style.
Why use it?
It helps avoid choosing an unsuitable test or reporting results without checking important assumptions, effect sizes, or sample-size needs.

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-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/assumption_checks.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 Analysis

Overview

Statistical analysis is a systematic process for testing hypotheses and quantifying relationships. Conduct hypothesis tests (t-test, ANOVA, chi-square), regression, correlation, and Bayesian analyses with assumption checks and APA reporting. Apply this skill for academic research.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Conducting statistical hypothesis tests (t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square)
  • Performing regression or correlation analyses
  • Running Bayesian statistical analyses
  • Checking statistical assumptions and diagnostics
  • Calculating effect sizes and conducting power analyses
  • Reporting statistical results in APA format
  • Analyzing experimental or observational data for research

Core Capabilities

1. Test Selection and Planning

  • Choose appropriate statistical tests based on research questions and data characteristics
  • Conduct a priori power analyses to determine required sample sizes
  • Plan analysis strategies including multiple comparison corrections

2. Assumption Checking

  • Automatically verify all relevant assumptions before running tests
  • Provide diagnostic visualizations (Q-Q plots, residual plots, box plots)
  • Recommend remedial actions when assumptions are violated

3. Statistical Testing

  • Hypothesis testing: t-tests, ANOVA, chi-square, non-parametric alternatives
  • Regression: linear, multiple, logistic, with diagnostics
  • Correlations: Pearson, Spearman, with confidence intervals
  • Bayesian alternatives: Bayesian t-tests, ANOVA, regression with Bayes Factors

4. Effect Sizes and Interpretation

  • Calculate and interpret appropriate effect sizes for all analyses
  • Provide confidence intervals for effect estimates
  • Distinguish statistical from practical significance

5. Professional Reporting

  • Generate APA-style statistical reports
  • Create publication-ready figures and tables
  • Provide complete interpretation with all required statistics

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.

statistical-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository TobiasBlask/open-paper-machine (18 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 5,135 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to statistical-analysis, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
