SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides structured guidance for planning, selecting, executing, and reporting statistical analyses in academic writing, including test choices, effect sizes, and APA-compliant formatting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Statistical test selection for t-tests, ANOVA, nonparametric alternatives, and regression.
  • Normality and homogeneity checks with example code snippets for Python (scipy.stats, pingouin).
  • Calculating and reporting effect sizes (Cohen's d, partial eta-squared, r, R²) and APA-style results.
  • Practical checks, pitfalls, and a checklist to ensure robust analyses.
  • Use Case: a researcher evaluating two groups on a continuous outcome, or three groups, or a predictor relationship with a continuous outcome.

Quick Start

Run a basic two-group independent t-test on your data and report the result in APA style.

Frequently Asked Questions about statistical-analysis

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I report statistical analysis results in APA format?

Reporting statistical analysis results in APA format requires structuring test statistics, degrees of freedom, p-values, and effect sizes into standardized sentences. This skill provides structured guidance to generate APA-compliant reporting outputs for academic research.

What statistical test should I use for comparing two or more groups?

Choosing a statistical test for comparing groups depends on your data's normality and variance homogeneity. This skill offers guidance on test selection between t-tests, ANOVA, and nonparametric alternatives for two-group and multi-group comparisons.

How do I calculate effect sizes like Cohen's d and partial eta-squared using Python?

Calculating effect sizes like Cohen's d and partial eta-squared in Python involves using specialized libraries such as pingouin. This skill provides Python code examples for computing and reporting these effect sizes for your analyses.

How do I check normality and homogeneity of variance before running an ANOVA?

Checking normality and homogeneity of variance before running an ANOVA requires specific statistical tests to validate assumptions. This skill includes normality and variance checks with example code snippets using scipy.stats and pingouin.

Can I run regression analyses and report R-squared in APA style?

Running regression analyses and reporting R-squared in APA style is supported for evaluating predictor relationships with continuous outcomes. This skill guides test execution and formatted reporting using statsmodels and other Python libraries.

What are the common pitfalls when planning hypothesis testing for academic research?

Common pitfalls when planning hypothesis testing for academic research include ignoring assumption checks and misreporting effect sizes. This skill provides a practical checklist to ensure robust analyses and avoid common errors.
