statistical-method-design SKILL.md skillA
statistical-method-design from fourteen1416/academic-agent-toolkit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add fourteen1416/academic-agent-toolkit/statistical-method-design@git:20260923.a0e7f79Pins git:20260923.a0e7f79 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design statistical methods, baselines, diagnostics, variants, and ablations that directly address a formal problem formulation.
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
# Statistical Method Design
## Overview
Use this skill after formal problem formulation. The method should be a response
to the formal target and assumptions, not a generic collection of techniques.
## Required Method Proposal
For each method:
- Name
- Problem it solves
- Formula or algorithm
- Inputs and outputs
- Tuning parameters
- Required assumptions
- Diagnostics
- Expected failure modes
- Computational cost
- Relation to baselines
## Baselines and Ablations
Always define meaningful baselines:
- Classical or standard method
- Naive or unadjusted method
- Oracle or idealized reference when available
- Robust variant
- Ablation removing the key design feature
## Method-to-Claim Map
Every method must connect to at least one claim:
```yaml
method_to_claim_map:
proposed_method:
claims: [C1, C2]
expected_evidence: "lower risk under stress condition"
theory_target: "consistency under assumptions A1-A3"
```Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add fourteen1416/academic-agent-toolkit/statistical-method-design@sha256:0528e7035998b430The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.a0e7f79, 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.
