SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps analysts and researchers choose and apply the right statistical methods to answer data-driven questions with honest interpretation and clear communication of uncertainty.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Descriptive Statistics: summarize central tendency, spread, and distribution shape to understand data at a glance.
  • Hypothesis Testing & Inference: identify whether observed effects are likely to be real, report effect sizes, and quantify uncertainty.
  • Regression & Modeling: move from description to prediction, controlling for confounders with simple and multiple regression.
  • Study Planning & Power: estimate sample sizes and required precision before experiments to ensure adequately powered analyses.
  • Practical Interpretation: translate statistical results into actionable insights for stakeholders across domains.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right statistical approach for my data-driven question?

To choose the right statistical approach, state your research question and provide the dataset; the analysis applies descriptive statistics, hypothesis tests, or regression based on the data structure to report effect sizes and confidence intervals.

What is the best way to check statistical assumptions like normality and equal variances before running hypothesis tests?

Checking statistical assumptions like normality and equal variances is integrated into the analysis workflow; the process documents assumptions checked and reports effect sizes alongside hypothesis testing results to ensure valid inference.

How do I calculate sample size and required precision for a power analysis before running an experiment?

To calculate sample size for a power analysis, provide your study parameters; the process estimates required sample sizes and precision before experiments to ensure adequately powered analyses and reliable hypothesis testing.

Can I use regression analysis to control for confounders and move from data description to prediction?

Yes, you can use regression analysis to control for confounders; simple and multiple regression techniques move from descriptive statistics to prediction, reporting effect sizes and confidence intervals for practical interpretation.

How do I interpret statistical significance versus practical significance for stakeholders?

To interpret practical significance, the analysis translates statistical results into actionable insights by focusing on effect sizes and confidence intervals rather than just p-values, communicating uncertainty clearly to stakeholders.

What descriptive statistics summarize central tendency, spread, and distribution shape for my dataset?

Descriptive statistics summarize central tendency, spread, and distribution shape to understand data at a glance; provide your dataset and the analysis returns these summary metrics as the foundation for further hypothesis testing.
