Chooses and justifies the statistical model (regression, mixed/GEE, survival, causal, prediction, Bayesian) after the estimand is set. Use when the user asks which model to fit.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Model Strategy ## Skill Value - **Problem it solves:** Model choices are often driven by software defaults or precedent instead of the estimand, outcome, data grain, dependence structure, and evidence. - **Use when:** A study needs a primary model, alternatives, random-effects structure, R/Python implementation scaffold, or a documented reason for choosing one method over another. - **Output:** `analysis/model-strategy/<slug>-model-strategy.md`, an optional stack-matched `.R` or `.py` scaffold, and a `__CE_MODEL_STRATEGY__` handoff. - **Ask only if:** A load-bearing input cannot be established from the request, SAP, data profile, repository, or prior handoff. - **Do not do:** Do not choose a final model before data grain and estimand are known, run models without authorization, install packages, fabricate language parity, or claim to replace human biostatistical approval. …

How to install
mdr add sajor2000/methodsmith/method-model-choice@sha256:113805758d97207aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.df37c8c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
