SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns a graduate statistics or quantitative-methods assignment into a disciplined notebook scaffold so the user can work in the right order, avoid common grading mistakes, and present analysis in a format instructors expect.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured notebook generation: Builds a six-part workflow for data audit, assumption checks, tests, effect sizes, and interpretation.
  • Stats-first discipline: Forces assumption checking before hypothesis testing and requires effect sizes and confidence intervals after results.
  • Flexible academic support: Fits weekly problem sets, take-home exams, Bayesian assignments, and mixed Jupyter or R-based workflows.
  • Example use case: A student receives a pset asking for group comparisons and regression, and the Skill creates a notebook layout with the right sections, placeholders, and reporting conventions already in place.

Quick Start

Ask for a scaffolded graduate statistics notebook and include the assignment prompt, data description, and preferred notebook stack.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a graduate statistics notebook to include assumption checks and effect sizes?

Structure a graduate statistics notebook by applying a six-part scaffold that enforces data audits, assumption checks before tests, and effect sizes with confidence intervals after results. This workflow ensures a disciplined, grade-ready layout.

Can I use this notebook scaffold for Bayesian inference assignments in Quarto?

Yes, you can use this notebook scaffold for Bayesian inference assignments in Quarto. It supports frequentist and Bayesian workflows across Jupyter, RMarkdown, and Quarto for hypothesis tests, regression, and take-home exams.

What is the correct workflow for reporting confidence intervals and direction statements in a pset?

The correct workflow for reporting confidence intervals in a pset requires calculating effect sizes with confidence intervals after running tests, followed by filling interpretation cells with explicit direction statements to meet academic reporting standards.

Does this stats pset scaffold work with both Jupyter notebooks and RMarkdown?

Yes, this stats pset scaffold works with both Jupyter notebooks and RMarkdown. It generates sectioned workflows with placeholders and reporting conventions tailored for mixed Jupyter or R-based quantitative method assignments.

How do I generate a grade-ready layout for a take-home statistics exam?

Generate a grade-ready layout for a take-home statistics exam by providing the assignment prompt, data description, and preferred notebook stack. The system builds a sectioned workflow enforcing data audits, assumption checks, and interpretation cells.
