SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coding SOP prevents research runs from becoming inconsistent, fragile, or hard to reproduce by standardizing how you execute experiments, clean data, test hypotheses, and produce publication-quality figures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Experiment execution workflow: Hypothesize, design variables and iteration counts, implement a script template, execute safely, verify outcomes, and document contradictions without cherry-picking.
  • Data processing pipeline: Clean → transform → validate with explicit inspection steps, missing-data handling rules, dtype/outlier checks, feature engineering, and saving cleaned datasets.
  • Statistics and visualization standards: Choose tests via a decision tree, report required test statistics and effect sizes with assumption checks, and render figures with journal-quality settings (resolution, formats, labels, and accessibility).

Quick Start

Give the AI your hypothesis, dataset schema, and desired output (report tables + figures), then ask it to generate a reproducible experiment script that saves all outputs to workspace-relative paths and includes environment snapshots and versioned results.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make my Python and R data analysis scripts reproducible?

Reproducible Python and R data analysis scripts require standardized workflows enforcing seed control, environment snapshots, and workspace-relative output paths. This approach ensures verifiable results across experiment execution, data cleaning, and statistical testing.

How do I choose the right statistical test for my research data?

Choosing the right statistical test involves using a decision tree based on your study design. You must report required test statistics, effect sizes, and assumption checks to ensure the validity of your hypothesis testing and publication-ready outputs.

What is the best way to standardize research workflows for publication-ready figures?

Standardizing research workflows for publication-ready figures requires applying consistent data provenance, validation checkpoints, and journal-quality visualization settings. This includes controlling resolution, formats, labels, and accessibility throughout the data processing pipeline.

How do I safely execute experiment scripts and avoid cherry-picking results?

Safely executing experiment scripts requires implementing safe execution patterns, verifying outcomes, and documenting contradictions without cherry-picking. You should hypothesize, design variables, implement script templates, and maintain versioned results with required artifacts.

Can I use this approach for cleaning tabular datasets with missing data and outliers?

Yes, this approach supports cleaning tabular datasets with missing data and outliers through explicit inspection steps. It enforces missing-data handling rules, dtype and outlier checks, feature engineering, and saving cleaned datasets with validation checkpoints.

What are the limitations of standardizing reproducibility in research coding?

Limitations of standardizing reproducibility include the overhead of maintaining environment snapshots and required script artifacts like effect sizes and assumption checks. It requires strict adherence to safe execution patterns and consistent data provenance throughout the research workflow.
