Statistical Analyst

Use when planning product experiments, writing testable hypotheses, estimating sample size, prioritizing tests, or interpreting A/B outcomes with practical statistical rigor.

Designs an A/B test or experiment with clear hypothesis, variants, success metrics, sample size, and duration. Use when planning experiments to validate product changes or test hypotheses.

Fit cognitive drift-diffusion models (Ratcliff DDM) to reaction time and accuracy data with parameter estimation (drift rate, boundary separation, non-decision time), model comparison, and parameter recovery validation. Use when modeling binary decision-making with reaction time data, estimating cognitive parameters from experimental data, comparing sequential sampling model variants, or decomposing speed-accuracy tradeoff effects into latent cognitive components.

Guided statistical analysis with test selection and reporting. Use when you need help choosing appropriate tests for your data, assumption checking, power analysis, and APA-formatted results. Best for academic research reporting, test selection guidance. For implementing specific models programmatically use statsmodels.

Design and execute insect population surveys covering survey design, sampling methods, field execution, specimen identification, diversity index calculation including Shannon-Wiener and Simpson indices, statistical analysis, and reporting. Covers defining survey objectives, selecting study sites, determining sampling intensity and replication, choosing sampling methods appropriate to target taxa, standardizing collection effort, recording environmental covariates, identifying specimens to the lowest practical taxonomic level, calculating species richness, Shannon-Wiener diversity (H'), Simpson diversity (1-D), evenness, rarefaction curves, multivariate ordination, and producing survey reports with species lists and conservation implications. Use when conducting baseline biodiversity assessments, monitoring insect populations over time, comparing insect communities across habitats or treatments, assessing environmental impact, or supporting conservation planning with quantitative ecological data.
